Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 46: The inner elixir has no price, it melts in your mouth when you lick it

Ye Di's voice sounded again, and it seemed ethereal and penetrating in this underground cave.
(BGM?/BCM?/NBA?/BMW?/Blue and White Porcelain)
The plain embryo outlines the blue and white brush strokes, which are thicker and lighter.

The peony depicted on the bottle is just like your first makeup.

This time, Gong Tianwu played with all his strength. As the music started, the Purple Armored Sky Centipede actually stopped and stayed where it was for two or three seconds. The power of the True Feather Heart Art was so overbearing! !
Not only that, after the first two sentences were sung, the green porcelain pieces next to it actually slowly floated up, and their surfaces were blessed by the True Feather Heart Sutra, appearing brand new and shining!

Three seconds later, the purple-armored centipede shook its head and once again pounced on Gong Tianwu with its ferocious appearance. As a result, a tea bowl with a green glow suddenly flew over from the side and hit it hard on the head.

Although the porcelain bowl shattered instantly, the purple-armored centipede was actually knocked back more than ten meters. Although it was not injured, it floundered on the ground for several times before regaining its balance.

Suffering such a sudden setback, the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede became extremely angry and made a series of strange noises. Then it opened its mouth and spit out its inner elixir, which then shot towards Gong Tianwu at a high speed.

But a green-glazed jar next to it flew out and hit the inner elixir hard. Although the jar shattered instantly, a layer of hazy green light appeared on the inner elixir and bound it. Then the flying speed of the inner elixir was reduced by at least half, as if it had fallen into glue.

Then another green treasure moon bottle slowly flew out to meet Dan.

The Purple-Armored Sky Centipede originally thought that his attack should be successful, but he did not expect that a huge suction force would come out from the mouth of the Green Treasure Moon Bottle, which directly sucked the inner elixir in effortlessly, instantly cutting off the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede's connection with it.

Meanwhile, the music continued:
The scent of sandalwood comes through the window and I understand my thoughts,

The pen is half written on the rice paper.

As soon as these two sentences appeared, bursts of sandalwood fragrance appeared around the entire body of the Purple-armored Sky Centipede. This fragrance was not poisonous, but had the effect of calming the mind.

Originally, the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede's inner elixir was trapped, and it was extremely irritable, wishing to tear the enemy in front of it into pieces. But after smelling the sandalwood, it suddenly felt peaceful, tranquil and comfortable.

A giant monster like the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede, which was born and raised by nature, has a very strong sense of crisis, and encountering pain will only arouse its animal nature and make its combat power even more terrifying.

But at this time, the True Feather Heart Method gave it positive feedback and a comfortable experience, so the Purple Armored Sky Centipede was also tricked and stayed in the same place for several seconds again. Gong Tianwu got an excellent buffer opportunity and was able to continue to perform this incomplete song.
The charm of the glaze-rendered ladies' paintings is privately kept.

And your sweet smile is like a bud about to bloom.

A wisp of your beauty is scattered,
Going to places I can't go.

The sky is blue waiting for misty rain and I am waiting for you,
Smoke rises from the river thousands of miles away.
***
At this point in the performance, Gong Tianwu felt dizzy, breathless, seeing stars, his legs and feet were sore, and the internal energy in his body was no longer sustainable. He simply fell to his knees on the ground, and blood dripped out of his nostrils bit by bit.

However, just as he was playing, an illusion of a lady in ancient costume quietly appeared, holding the bottle that imprisoned the inner elixir of the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede in both hands, smiled sweetly, and gradually disappeared.

The bottle had originally begun to show cracks on its surface due to the intense struggle and resistance of the elixir inside, but after this strange phenomenon appeared, the body of the bottle suddenly flashed with light, as if it had been newly coated with a layer of fine glaze. All the cracks disappeared, and then it suddenly flew away into the distance.

Pingzi took the inner elixir and ran away! !

Doesn’t this scene exactly respond to the lyrics: Going to a place I can’t go?

Upon seeing this scene, the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede screamed in anger, stood up, and shot out in pursuit.

However, in this cave, a strange phenomenon of hazy mist and rain appeared. Under the cover of this strange phenomenon of mist and rain, the shallow and narrow underground river suddenly increased its water flow, instantly surrounding the purple-armored sky centipede.

Amidst the smoke and fog, this small underground river was as wide as a large river, and it seemed to have the power of Mount Sumeru and a mustard seed.

The extremely powerful purple-armored centipede was trapped in it, and quickly shrank from an astonishing length of seven or eight meters to as thin as a chopstick. No matter how it shook its head and tail and flapped its wings wildly in the vast water mist, it was all in vain.

Such a scene corresponds perfectly to the lyrics: Smoke rises up from thousands of miles across the river!
At this moment, Gong Tianwu even had an illusion, as if this extremely powerful monster had become so weak that he could be crushed to death with one foot!
But reason told him that if he really stepped on it, he would find that his whole body would quickly become smaller as the distance got closer, and then something horrible would happen.

So Gong Tianwu swallowed a qi-replenishing pill without saying a word and turned around and ran. Although his performance was gone, the illusion created by the True Feather Heart Sutra + Blue and White Porcelain (incomplete song) bought him more than ten seconds, allowing Gong Tianwu to escape again.

After more than ten seconds, the illusion slowly disappeared, and the vase that originally trapped the demon centipede's inner elixir also exploded. The trapped purple-armored centipede broke free at the same time and was about to reunite with its beloved baby.

When the two were still about thirty meters apart, a strange book suddenly flew out from the cracks in the rocks nearby. It was the original text of the poem.

It flew up suddenly, and then grew to the size of a portal in the air.
At the same time, Wenhua Stone Pen flew even higher, and this time he actually spoke directly to the lyrics.

This is absolutely unusual, it is called imperial appointment!

Because when the monk Guangxiao used this skill with his stone pen, the tip of the pen was pointing at none other than the name of a person on the palace examination list.

Before being selected, this person was just a scholar in the palace examination, but after this, he was like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, leaving his name in history, and becoming the top scholar.

You should know that in the vast history of China over 592 years, only top scorers were born.

This aspect of Wenhua Shibi is that he has injected all the literary spirit he has accumulated over the years, as well as some of the luck left over from the Hua Dynasty, into his poems.

At this moment, the grade of Ci Shuo was greatly improved again, directly from the upper grade of Huang grade to the lower grade of Xuan grade, so its power was greatly increased!
With the opening and closing of the book, the inner elixir was actually directly put into the book!

Not only that, there was an illusion of a jade seal flashing in the void, and it was imprinted on the cover of the book. This was the suppressive effect of the remaining luck of the Hua Dynasty.

Upon seeing this scene, the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede's eyes turned red and it howled madly. If it lost its inner elixir, it would be difficult for it to make progress in the future, and the cultivation it had accumulated over hundreds of years would completely disappear within just one month.

Therefore, the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede no longer cared about the escaping Gong Tianwu. Without the mysterious fragment, it would just be stuck on the path of spiritual cultivation. It could still find a way to make up for it, but if that didn't work, it might as well give up.

However, once the inner elixir is completely taken away, it will be a matter of life and death!
Of course, Gong Tianwu didn't know so many things had happened. Seeing that the entire underground palace was shaking violently and on the verge of collapse, he could only panic and run towards the light.

But after he ran for more than a hundred meters again, he saw seven or eight figures stumbling down the passage in front of him. Upon closer inspection, they were all monks living in the Pudu Temple above!
They were dressed in monk robes, their eyes rolled back, their mouths opened wide like wild beasts, and they let out ferocious "ho ho" roars. The weapons they held in their hands were varied:
Some were holding swords, some were holding long sticks, but there were also many who took a non-mainstream approach, such as holding door bolts and carrying benches.

Obviously, these guys came to block the way, definitely not to greet Gong Tianwu, but to intercept him. So Gong Tianwu's men were merciless, and drew their swords to serve with the Hundred Battles Sword Technique.

After fighting with them for two or three rounds, the monk who was in the front was beheaded by Gong Tianwu with a single blow when the opportunity arose. But the strangest thing was that after his head fell off, it was still rolling on the ground, chasing Gong Tianwu and biting him fiercely!
In the midst of his busy schedule, Gong Tianwu took a closer look and immediately took a breath of cold air:
It turned out that the monk's neck cavity was empty, without any blood flowing out. The things supporting it were yellow-white dried meridians, like dried straw, and there were densely packed tiny centipedes wriggling, which looked terrifying.

Gong Tianwu was anxious to escape, so he took a blow from the monk in front of him, then slashed the monk's shoulder with his sword, and then dragged him vertically to his lower abdomen. He found from the wound that the monk was like a puppet, with a hollow human skin on top.

Faced with such a monster, Gong Tianwu did not bother to deal with it any further. Although he did not have much experience in the underworld (mainly cheating and deceiving), he had also heard some related anecdotes and legends and knew that such monsters were most afraid of fire, but where could he find one now?

So he made a prompt decision, shook them off and continued on his way.

However, just when Gong Tianwu was about to escape to the exit, there was another violent shaking next to him, and he was shaken to pieces. He even felt as if the entire Kongsang Mountain was about to collapse, and he didn't know what was happening below.

When the shaking subsided a little, Gong Tianwu had just stood up when the rock wall next to him exploded with a loud bang. A shrill scream made him dizzy!
The purple-armored sky centipede actually caught up again, its inner elixir circling around him this time. Although it had shrunk a little, it looked like a burning charcoal, and was extremely dazzling in the darkness.

This shows that the piece of metal fragment that Gong Tianwu took away is extremely important to it, and it is even willing to burn its own skills to chase after it.

Seeing this scene, Gong Tianwu let out a long sigh. He stood in the darkness, looking like a deep and majestic mountain, with an indescribable majesty:

"Alas, there is a road to heaven but you don't take it, there is no door to hell but you break in!!"

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

The purple-armored sky centipede continued to rush forward madly, agile as a dragon in the air, and seemed to be ready to tear Fang Linyan into pieces.

But in the next second, a faint light suddenly flashed in front of Gong Tianwu, and then a deep yellow talisman floated in front of him.

This talisman is old and ancient, but it carries an invincible aura.

The four golden characters "Eternal Sharpness" shone brightly! !
Then there was an indescribably fierce sword light flashing! ! It illuminated the entire dark underground palace!
The Purple-Armored Sky Centipede couldn't help but tremble, letting out an extremely shrill scream, and tried its best to use its inner elixir to block the sword.

When the two intersected, the sword light was annihilated immediately.

However, the Purple-Armored Centipede had curled up into a ball, with a large amount of green liquid spurting out of its body. It fled desperately into the darkness, like a wild dog running away with its tail between its legs.

How arrogant it was when it was chasing before, how miserable it is now.
At this time, driven by Kang, Gong Tianwu rushed out all of a sudden, grabbed a ball of charcoal-like light about ten meters ahead, and swallowed it in one gulp.

This thing was none other than the inner elixir of the Purple-Armored Sky Centipede. The will attached to it had been completely destroyed by Ziying's previous attack.

After it fell into Gong Tianwu's mouth, it burst with a light lick. It melted in the mouth and tasted really good. It was actually a bit like a combination of raw eggs and sea urchin.

However, Kang did not give Gong Tianwu too many opportunities to appreciate it. He swallowed up all the inner elixir without leaving a drop, causing it to instantly turn into specks of light and disappear, directly becoming nutrients for Kang.

At this moment, the severely injured Purple-Armored Sky Centipede in the distance also sensed the sudden disappearance of its inner elixir and let out a desperate wail!
After eating this thing, Kang also sighed with relief:

"I finally made up for the loss I incurred in saving you in front of the divine talisman today."

***
Although he successfully dealt a heavy blow to the Purple-Armored Centipede, the underground palace here was still shaking and collapsing violently, and Gong Tianwu continued to flee.

It was also thanks to the fact that he was a master of innate skills at this time, and he had prepared enough medicines. After holding his breath, the innate energy circulated over and over again, endlessly, and his explosive power was much stronger. Therefore, he escaped safely after running all the way, and there was no such bloody coincidence that the passage collapsed just after he ran out.

However, when Gong Tianwu finally stopped to breathe heavily due to exhaustion, he could not help but look back and found that the entire Pudu Temple had been engulfed in a large cloud of dust and fog. Some areas had collapsed, and another part was also in danger.

Just as Gong Tianwu was trying to escape, he suddenly felt an itch inside his nostrils. He reached out to touch it and found that blood was flowing out. His heart sank, knowing that he had finally been tricked.

After all, when Kang's protective power lost its effect, it took him almost a minute or two to escape from the collapsed temple hall, and during this time he must have been contaminated with poisonous miasma.

Thanks to Gong Tianwu's preparation, he immediately took out a handful of prepared antidotes from his arms and swallowed them, then continued to flee down the mountain, where a good horse had already been prepared.

Gong Tianwu mounted his horse and whipped the whip, but did not head towards the county town. Instead, he galloped to a place called Fengshan Town.
