As the Universe Turns - Chapter 1179
Chapter 1179 Worldly Heart
That time, when he went to search for “SorrowlessValley”, Xiao Chen transformed his cultivation. He rode a carriage all the way to West Shu and met the youth Leng Baihu in an ancient city.
Today, almost a year had passed. He had taught Leng Baihu how to cultivate, and he would naturally not forget the karma of the mortal world.
The Land of Mortality was neither big nor small. I wonder if I will meet Leng Baihu again if I enter it again.
Dark clouds gradually covered the area in front of them, as if it was going to rain again. The Shu Lands were always raining continuously, especially at the turn of spring and summer in March. The weather was even stranger, and the grass on the roadside was also shaking with the wind, without any support.
Just as he was contemplating, another wave of intense colic came from his dantian. Xiao Chen frowned slightly and did not hesitate any longer. He stepped on his feet and began his qinggong towards Xishu.
…
Two days later, in a remote town in West Sichuan, just after noon, the square in the center of the town was packed with people. In the midst of the clamor, begging for mercy could be heard continuously coming from the stone platform in the square.
The stone platform was drenched in blood. Seven burly men knelt on the ground begging for mercy. Blood flowed all over their faces. Both of their ears had been cut off. They landed on the bloody stone platform. They looked particularly terrifying.
Around the stone platform, angry curses could be heard continuously. The seven men knelt on the stone platform, their entire bodies trembling like chaff as they kowtowed to the ground, “I know my mistake. From now on, I will definitely change from kindness to pain. Hero, spare my life …”
It turned out that these seven people were the notorious “Seven Fiends of the Yellow Wind” nearby. A few years ago, they were quite honest. Even if they had martial arts skills, they did not dare to go against the government.
However, since the year before last, these seven people had learned a “demonic technique” from somewhere. With a single slash, they could summon a gust of demonic wind to wring them away. Ordinary swords and blades were even harder to injure them in the slightest.
As a result, the seven of them began to act recklessly, raping and plundering without restraint. The government had no choice but to take them. The nearby chivalrous warriors were skilled in martial arts, but they were unable to contend against this powerful demonic technique.
After a long time, everyone in the surrounding towns was afraid. Whoever wanted to have a yellow-robed girl would have to hide. Even if they were so cautious and sullied the young girls in the hands of these seven people, that was not a small number.
Until yesterday, a white-clothed youth happened to pass by this place. Seeing that the sky was bright and daytime, the doors of every house were tightly shut. For a moment of curiosity, he found the mayor and asked why.
When the youth heard this, he slapped the table and said angrily, “In broad daylight, in my grand Shu Lands, there are actually people who commit such evil deeds and treat the law like a child’s play. How dare you!”
Hearing that the Seven Fiends of the Yellow Wind were coming to town today, the youth waited on the stone platform in the plaza. Thus, this scene happened.
“Hero, please spare my life … I will definitely do good deeds every day in the future, and I will never dare to do evil again …”
The seven burly men kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. Outside the stone platform, they saw a white-clothed youth standing there. He looked seventeen or eighteen years old. His eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars, but he was extraordinarily handsome. A snow-white treasured sword hung on his waist, adding to his valor. It was none other than Leng Baihu.
Leng Baihu looked at the seven people in front of him. He thought to himself that their martial arts and demonic techniques had been crippled by him. In the future, he would never do anything evil again. Cutting off his ears was a punishment. Brother Chen had said that all things had their own spirits. Since the seven of them were willing to repent today, then let them live.
“Listen up, the seven of you. From today onwards, there will be more crimes of adultery. At that time, I will definitely act on behalf of the heavens!”
Upon hearing this, the seven people on the stone platform immediately felt as if they were granted amnesty and kept kowtowing, “Thank you, Hero, for your mercy. Thank you, Hero, for your mercy. From now on, we will definitely change from evil to good …”
When the surrounding people heard that they were going to let these seven villains go, they were all shocked. They all looked at Leng Baihu and cried out in shock, “Young Hero, you absolutely must not do this! The so-called’eliminating evil ‘thing is done. If we let the tiger go back to the mountain today, I’m afraid …”
In the distance, there were even people who had already brought torches to burn these seven people to death. The seven people on the stone platform were so scared that their entire bodies trembled and they continuously kowtowed to beg for mercy.
“Young Hero! You absolutely must not let these seven go. My daughter was taken captive by them. When she returned that day, she would suicide by hanging herself …”
“Young Hero, these seven people have committed all sorts of evil deeds. They have done all sorts of harmful things to the heavens. Look at me, they should be burned to death …”
For a time, the people were furious. Leng Baihu sighed in his heart. These seven people had committed evil deeds, causing the people in the town to become so hostile. He glared at the seven people and said, “Scram!”
“Yes, yes …”
The seven of them picked up the ears on the ground and hurriedly got up. They hurriedly ran towards the direction outside the town. Everyone was still complaining. Even though the seven of them would never be able to do anything evil in the future, could they just forget about what they had done in the past?
Leng Baihu looked at the crowd and said, “Those seven people have lost their martial arts. From now on, they won’t be able to commit any more evil deeds. Everyone, don’t worry anymore …”
“Sigh …”
Because they didn’t kill those seven people, there were still people in the crowd who kept shaking their heads and sighing. At this moment, Leng Baihu suddenly felt a familiar aura. This aura was … Brother Chen!
Back in SorrowlessValley, Leng Baihu had absorbed the Spirit of the Ancient Tree, and during this time, he had cultivated the Profound Gate Heart Technique that Xiao Chen had taught him day and night. Therefore, his current Spirit Sense was no longer comparable to before.
At that moment, he was certain that Brother Chen was nearby!
“Young Hero, Young Hero, where are you going …”
Amidst the crowd’s cries, Leng Baihu unleashed his elegant movement technique. It looked like a wisp of smoke and immediately left the town.
When they arrived at the stone bridge outside the town, it was March. The tender willow blossomed and the gentle breeze sent incense. Under the willow tree, there was a figure. That person was wearing a green battle robe, but it was difficult to hide his slightly pale face. It was none other than Xiao Chen.
“Brother Chen!”
Leng Baihu never thought that ever since he parted, he would think that he would be separated from the Immortal World. He never thought that he would actually meet Xiao Chen here today.
“White Fox, so it’s you …”
“Brother Chen, why are you here? You’re … wrong! Brother Chen, why is your expression so ugly …”
“Cough, cough cough … this place is not suitable for you to talk. Come with me.”
In the past few days, Xiao Chen had forcefully suppressed his cultivation and sealed off the eight meridians. Obviously, the situation was getting worse and worse. If this continued, his heart and veins would definitely burn.
A moment later, the two of them left the town. Seeing his pale face and wearing a battle robe, Leng Baihu immediately thought that there must be someone chasing after him. However, his cultivation was so high, who could chase after him …
“Brother Chen, who injured you …”
“Cough, cough …”
Xiao Chen’s face was pale. He waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want to ask further questions. Leng Baihu also immediately reacted. The most urgent matter was to send him to a quiet place to treat his injuries as soon as possible. He said, “This place is not far from my home, Brother Chen, we …”
“No …”
Xiao Chen shook his head. Obviously, he was worried that if Zi Weisi and Heavenless Palace’s people chased after him, they would definitely implicate the Leng Baihu family. He asked, “Is there anywhere else, beautiful scenery, a hidden place …”
“Beautiful scenery, a hidden place …”
The current Leng Baihu was no longer the Leng Baihu of the past. Naturally, he understood that the place where the mountains and rivers were beautiful must be the place where there was spiritual energy. He said, “I know! A thousand miles north from here, there is a thatched cottage that I built when I was hunting …”
“Alright, let’s go …”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly and slashed his finger. Just as he was about to pull out his flying sword, Leng Baihu stopped him. “Brother Chen, you’re injured. Let me do it!”
As he finished speaking, he twisted his fingers and formed a seal. He took out a flying sword. Following the end of the incantation, the flying sword instantly magnified several times and hung several feet above the ground.
“You know how to use swordsmanship …”
“Mm-hmm!”
Leng Baihu nodded his head forcefully and brought him onto the flying sword. After a burst of incantation, the flying sword immediately rose. Although it was slightly shaky, it was still not enough to fall.
“Brother Chen, grab onto me.”
Leng Baihu supported him with one hand and grabbed the sword art with the other. The flying sword immediately flew forward and disappeared into the clouds in a short moment.
After a while, Xiao Chen asked, “What happened in that town just now …”
Hearing this, Leng Baihu said about the matter with the Seven Fiends of the Yellow Wind. Finally, he frowned and said, “Let the seven of them go. Brother Chen, do you think I did the right thing or did I do the wrong thing?”
“What you think, if it’s because of your nature, how can it be right or wrong … If you kill them, you will still come and ask me if what you did was right or wrong, and I will still answer you like this.”
“This …”
Leng Baihu didn’t understand what he meant for a moment. Just like what he said back then, everyone in this world longed for longevity, but when it came to the day of immortality, he watched the people around him die one by one …
…
When twilight fell, Leng Baihu finally arrived at a secluded valley with his sword. However, he saw the deep scenery in the valley, filled with mysterious flowers and herbs, countless. On a precipice in the valley, there was a thatched cottage. Leng Baihu called this place the “herb cottage”.
“Brother Chen, we’re here! Brother Chen … Brother Chen!”
When he landed on the ground, Leng Baihu discovered that Xiao Chen was covered in cold sweat and had fainted. He thought that he was seriously injured, but he didn’t know that Xiao Chen’s current condition was worse than his serious injuries.
“Brother Chen, hold on …”
At this moment, Leng Baihu could only carry him into the room and slowly circulate his cultivation for the night, but he didn’t dare to move around. It wasn’t until the next morning that Xiao Chen slowly woke up and turned around.
“Brother Chen! You’re awake!”
When Leng Baihu saw him wake up, he hurriedly brought a bowl of water over. Xiao Chen looked around. Although the walls of the house were bleak, the landscape spirit energy here was extremely pure. It was even purer than the spirit energy of heaven and earth in some cultivation grounds.
“White Fox, go find these medicinal ingredients for me …”
“Alright! Brother Chen, tell me, I’ll remember.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen told him all the medicinal ingredients he needed. This time, he forcefully suppressed his cultivation and sealed his meridians, causing a very serious backlash. Now, he could only use spiritual medicines to slowly recuperate. Fortunately, he had learned an extraordinary medical skill from Shen Jing. Otherwise, the consequences would be unbearable.
