Chapter 1089 — One Beauty, Simple and Foolish Through a Hundred Lives
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
Shen Mu thought a moment, cut a piece of fine jade from an Ancestral Court jade mountain in the Shen Continent, carved it finely, and with a stir of thought his primordial spirit turned into the form of Tu Bo.
From his primordial spirit's mouth rose the deep and weighty Youdu tongue, and with every syllable uttered, Youdu demonic qi turned into Youdu script and branded itself upon the jade pendant. The Youdu tongue grew ever lower and hoarser, like an ancient god who wields souls chanting in a low voice. Upon that tower ship, the disciples of Yue Tianzun felt a chill in their hearts, and the same female disciple hastily seized Que Feiyin and jerked her chin toward the ship.
"Silly Que, look there! " Que Feiyin lay upon the prow and peered down, only to see the Heavenly Dragon treasure carriage following their ship, never leaving its side.
At this moment, immensely thick Youdu demonic qi surged around the Heavenly Dragon treasure carriage, like great black pythons twining and crossing about the carriage, unspeakably terrifying! Que Feiyin started in fright and hastily drew back her head, saying, "Senior sister, the man in the carriage is no good man!
" "Of course he is no good man!
" the others cried one after another. "He has fixed upon us now!
Master said you have suffered many calamities since childhood, and that a deadly doom awaits you in future, and I fear this is it!
" Que Feiyin fretted like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth. "What shall we do?
Master is not in the Celestial Court, and Senior Uncle Ling and Uncle Yun are not here either, who can stop this great devil?
" The others grew anxious at once.
"Hush! Take care lest the devil hear!
" Below, from within the Heavenly Dragon treasure carriage came faint bursts of devilish speech, utterly evil, and the devilish nature issuing from the carriage grew heavier and heavier, making everyone's scalp go numb. "I fear he is a great devil king come from Youdu!
" Inside the carriage, Shen Mu changed through many kinds of runes in succession, at last refining the jade pendant to completion, and summoned Yan'er, saying, "Give this jade pendant to Que Feiyin, and say it is a meeting gift from me.
Also, ask her for the Vermilion Bird plume upon her head. " Yan'er took the pendant and ventured, "Young master, is that Que Feiyin my mother?
" Shen Mu nodded.
Yan'er was a little unwilling. "She looks so silly, how could she be my mother? " Shen Mu smiled.
"Go quickly, go quickly!
" Yan'er flew up onto the tower ship, which was fleeing toward the Xiaohan Celestial Court, meaning to shake off the Heavenly Dragon treasure carriage, yet never able to shake it.
Seeing Yan'er fly aboard, a plump blue sparrow turned into a fat girl, all felt a chill in their hearts.
"The devil king's serving maid has boarded, I fear our junior sister Que's bloody calamity is upon her!
" Yan'er stepped forward and said, "Mo. .
. Miss, this is the treasure the young master meant to show you.
" Que Feiyin wished to step forward to look, but the others held her back, lest the simple girl fall into murderous hands.
Yan'er suddenly pressed close, squeezed past the others, and thrust the pendant into Que Feiyin's hand, saying, "This is for you from the young master!
" The others were greatly alarmed in their hearts and were about to urge their divine powers when space suddenly split all around, and the distance between them and Yan'er and Que Feiyin grew ever greater, each greatly startled. The divine power Yan'er wielded came from the same lineage as their own, of one succession, all the divine powers of Yue Tianzun!
Que Feiyin was not startled at all, examined the pendant with curiosity, and said in delight, "There really is a treasure! My senior brothers and sisters said the young master in the carriage was a villain who cheats ignorant girls!
" She hung the pendant about her neck, and with a swish the pendant sank into her body and vanished!
"You cheat me! " Que Feiyin flew into a rage and seized Yan'er.
"The pretty pendant is gone again!
" Shen Mu's voice came.
"Miss Feiyin, look at your primordial spirit.
" Que Feiyin hastily looked at her own primordial spirit, only to find the pendant hanging about the neck of her Vermilion Bird primordial spirit, and her anger turned to joy as she smiled.
"So it is here. " Yan'er seized the chance to pluck the Vermilion Bird plume from her head, and Que Feiyin was enraged again and chased after her, crying, "That is my treasure!
I do not want your treasure, give my treasure back to me! " Yan'er hastily flew onto the treasure carriage, crying, "Go quickly, go quickly!
" Long Qilin cracked his whip, and the six heavenly dragons hastily drew the carriage away into the distance, while Que Feiyin chased relentlessly behind, weeping as she ran.
Her senior sisters and brothers hastily caught up with her and urged, "Silly Que, chase no more. Luckily he was a cheat and not a killer, or you would have lost your life!
" Que Feiyin could not stop wiping her tears and sobbed, "That fat girl cheated me! Just let me catch her, and I will beat her bottom raw and swollen!
" "You barely saved your life, and still you boast? When Master returns and learns of this, she will beat your bottom raw and swollen!
" As they spoke, a buzzing sound came, and upon the Celestial River there flew from nowhere some tiny insects, very small, drawing near the tower ship.
The people looked and said, "With wind and waves so great here, how are there gnats flying here? " They drove the gnats away, only to see that though the insects were tiny, they looked vicious, with fangs and gaping mouths and spikes within.
They chased the gnats off and were wondering at it when Que Feiyin said, "I feel sleepy.
" They turned to look at her and could not help starting in fright, for in that brief moment Que Feiyin had grown gaunt as dry wood, her face full of deathly pallor, and a huge gnat lay upon her back, its mouthparts thrust from behind into her heart and sucking her blood fiercely, its belly already bulging and fat.
In the blink of an eye the girl's whole body of qi and blood was sucked dry by the gnat, and she died!
The people fell into a panic, wailing to heaven and earth.
