Chapter Forty-Six: The Light of Fireflies
In the dark cave, it was cold and damp, and I couldn't see my fingers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info only emanated a terrifying and eerie crimson light from time to time from the darkness, and there was a faint sound of struggle, adding a lot of mysterious and eerie colors to the dark cave.
"Squeak. "The voice of a rat came out of the cave, and although it was quiet, it also spread far in the cave. When the fat mouse passed by the red light, it was followed by a scream, blood splattered, and it was dead. Soon there was a creepy chewing sound in the darkness.
......
Time flies, and a month is fleeting. Tiansheng was still locked in the room, doing nothing every day, Gu Tianxue and Hu Jiu had to visit Tiansheng every day. Born to tease Fox Nine as the only pleasure.。 From time to time, he would inquire about Gu Tianxue's news, about himself, and about the theft of the "Gossip Sealing Demon Array" scroll.
From her mouth, she was born to know that the scroll was still missing. I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, it's because of the loss of the scroll that recently, everyone from the head of the sect to the ordinary disciples has focused their attention on this matter, and no one has paid attention to the disposition of the innate, not even the Elder of the Night. The matter was put on hold for the time being. And I was born to think about it, I don't worry so much about my punishment, I eat, sleep, read books every day, and be leisurely.
It's another sunny day, and I'm lying in bed with a book in my hand, reading with relish.
Books are miscellaneous books. tells the story of a down-and-out scholar who was favored by a rich daughter, so on a full moon night, the two made a vow to live with each other for the rest of their lives.
Spend a good moon and tie the knot, and the scholar and the daughter of the rich family have lived a happy and loving life since then. Who knew that three years later, the down-and-out scholar was admitted to the top prize with the financial support of the rich daughter, but he was ungrateful and took the princess as his wife. After the woman learned the news, she remembered all the sweetness and vows under the moon in the past, and she couldn't accept it for a while, and she committed suicide by jumping into the river in grief and anger.
The plot is old-fashioned, and it is inherently used as a pastime after boredom. Who knew that after Gu Tianxue saw this novel, she scoffed at it, and criticized the novel as worthless, saying that it was a poor and sour talent and a fabrication.
Born interested, he asked Gu Tianxue, who was still indignant: "Isn't it just a novel, do you need to care so much?"
"Since ancient times, it has been all about martial arts. He is a literary champion, let alone a princess, even the daughter of a military general is not worthy, and he dares to say that he will marry a princess? Gu Tianxue said indignantly.
Tiansheng couldn't help but laugh after listening to it. As soon as Gu Tianxue said this, she remembered that she was still the princess of this Jiang country, so she asked, "Then what kind of person do you think your princess will marry to be worthy of your identity?"
Gu Tianxue tilted her head, showing the arrogance that a princess should have: "If you want to marry this princess, you must be a genius and a proud person, who can save the peerless powerhouse of the Six Realms." Then he supported his jaw with his hand in a thoughtful gesture, and after a long moment nodded and continued, "Well, that's it." ”
"That's all, your requirements are really low!" was speechless, and it seems that fantasies are a common problem for every girl, whether it is a commoner or a princess.
"What about you?" Gu Tianxue, who was already sitting in a chair, looked at Tiansheng and asked.
"Me!" "I thought for a long time before I said slowly: "I don't have too high requirements, as long as I meet a woman I like, whether she is rich or poor, I will use the sword in my hand to protect her for the rest of her life, life and death." ”
"Then she must be a beggar, and the little beggar and the female beggar are the best match together. As she spoke, Gu Tianxue laughed playfully.
Looking at Gu Tianxue with a smile on her face, she said seriously by nature: "If it is really the person I like, what if it is a beggar?" This world may not be equal, but only love is equal, and love does not distinguish between cultivation and high and low. ”
Speaking of this, Tiansheng suddenly thought of the story he had told Zhuo Yue, Chang'e running to the moon. Although the ending is sad and the gods and men are separated forever, the relationship between the two is the most sincere. Such affection is more than Jin Jian's feelings, which is desirable.
......
At this time, Luo Xiao Palace.
In the middle of the main hall, the Void True Man looked at the Sixth Pavilion Elder in the hall and said loudly: "A month has passed, and there is no news at all. I can't even find a suspicious person, what do you think of your junior brothers and sisters?"
At this time, the Elder of the Void Mountain, who was sitting on the right-hand side below the Void True Person, stood up and snorted coldly: "How else can you look at it, the treasure of the town sect is actually lost, and there is no clue after checking it for so long." Now the other immortal sects are watching the jokes of our sword sect!"
The boss of Qianyue snorted coldly with a face: "It's not just a joke, once the picture scroll is lost, the foundation of the Sword Gate will be damaged." ”
Elder Wuji responded and said, "Yes, if the scroll is lost this time, if it encounters a powerful enemy attack in the future, this sect will lose a powerful treasure against the enemy." Three hundred years ago, if there was no such gossip sealing demon formation formation to cooperate with the picture scroll, I am afraid it would be ......"
Before Elder Wuji could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Elder Asamune: "Wuji, now that we're talking about theft, why are you talking about this?"
Elder Wuji saw that Elder Qianmeng's face was already pale, and when he looked around, he shut up. Three hundred years ago, Asakin and that person had a very ordinary relationship, so even after so many years, Asakin still lingered in his mind. Besides, this matter is a pain for everyone in the Sword Gate, but I don't want to say anything more.
It was Elder Wuji's words that caused a silence in the hall, and the air seemed to be frozen by this atmosphere. After a long time, the Void True Talent said slowly, "You guys, let's continue to talk about this theft!"
Elder Asamume walked to the middle, looked around and said, "Actually, this matter seems to be difficult to investigate, but it's actually not difficult?"
"Oh, what do you mean by what junior sister said?"
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Elder Asamu, wanting to see what Elder Asamume would say next.
I saw Elder Qianmeng sigh slowly: "This theft, the person who came did it was very secretive, except for the time when he stole the scroll, he touched the formation. The others didn't leave any clues, so we searched for a whole month without a clue. But everyone thought about it, who would be the person who was so thoughtful, the person who knew the Sword Gate so well, and the person who could easily break through the formation of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion?"
Hearing this, everyone explained in amazement.
"Senior sister, is this saying that there are internal ghosts in the Sword Gate?" Elder Luofeng couldn't wait to ask, and in connection with what happened before, he already had a bold guess in his heart.
"Yes, it's not just the ghosts. And among us. ”
As soon as these words came out, the cultivators in this temple were profound, and they had experienced countless things, and all the elders who had extensive knowledge had lost their color. Only the Elder of the Night did not change his face, on the contrary, he still smiled in his heart, this matter has already begun, and it is irreparable.
On that stage, the Void True Man let out a sigh.
......
On a green hill thousands of miles away from Jianmen Mountain, dozens of strong men held steel forks in their hands and strong bows on their backs. He wears clothes made of the fur of various beasts such as tiger skins. Showing strong muscles, all of them look extremely strong.
They are all hunters under this mountain, and all kinds of strange things began to happen three days ago. First of all, the roar of wild beasts came out from time to time on the mountain, and the sound was so loud that even the mountain could be faintly heard, which made the villagers under the mountain extremely frightened.
Then, immediately after that, the mountains were deep and dense, and there were many jackals, tigers, leopards, and all kinds of wild beasts, but it was almost difficult to find any prey, as if all the wild beasts had disappeared overnight. In order to find out the reason, these dozen big men, who are also the best hunters under the mountain, met together to go up the mountain.
After going up the mountain, I found that the whole mountain was quiet, there were no insects, no birds, and no traces of wild beasts. There was only a terrifying roar that came from time to time, as if it came from far away, but just hearing this sound made everyone's hairs stand on end. Growing up on the side of the mountain, born and raised in Si, he has long been familiar with this mountain and all kinds of beasts. Even if you encounter a tiger, you won't have any fear, but now just hearing this sound makes everyone scared.
The deeper you go into the mountains, the more terrifying you feel. This voice was like the call of the demons of hell, calling out to these dozen big men, letting them step by step into the abyss of death. And as time went on, the sky gradually sank.
"Chaozi, why don't we go back. One of the big men stared around, and said cautiously, afraid that some demons and monsters would come out if he was not careful.
The person who was called Chaozi did not look back, but still walked forward with a voice: "If you are afraid, go back, if this matter is not clarified, the whole village will not live in peace." ”
"That's it, you see those little daughters-in-law in the village who are so scared that they don't even dare to go out of the door for the past two days. Fat Zhang, you're still not a man. ”
"I ...... Isn't it for everyone's sake, in case there is some kind of demon and monster, then ...... No, no. "The man called Zhang Fatzi was so frightened that he couldn't speak.
"Isn't it just what? there are so many of us, even if any demons and monsters encounter us, we have to take a detour. I think you're a coward, don't you think?" one of the big men shouted to the people around him.
"That is, Zhang Fat is a coward. ”
Everyone responded and burst into laughter. It made Zhang Fat embarrassed, but after everyone made such a fuss, he was no longer so afraid.
After walking for a long time, it was already dark. The crowd lit the torches that had been prepared long ago and moved on. More than a dozen torches, in this dark mountain, are like the light of fireflies, constantly beating, as if they will be swallowed by the darkness at any time......
