The twilight is getting thicker and thicker, and the desert under the city of the Western Regions is gradually surrounded by mist, and the dry desert is thick with moisture, and the sky is no longer clear. The stars leapt into the sky, the waning moon sets westward, and the shadows on the rocks are pitch black.

Ten miles away from the human settlement of the Western Regions is a vast grassland, where herders used to graze many horses and livestock. Even in winter, the area is full of herders' tents and cattle in search of water and grass, but now, the place is empty, and the air seems to hide the tension of the impending rainstorm.

Pan'er said nervously: "Why do I feel so weird......

Standing on top of the city, the more he looked, the more strange it became, and his heavenly eyes looked farther away.

In the mountains stretching to the west of the Western Regions, he saw a shadow mountain range.

That's the Kingdom of the Gods!

There was a wall that stretched from one side of the cliff to the other, and the whole wall had only a huge iron gate, on which the guards patrolled day and night. Low cliffs on both sides, and the entire mountain range is pure black and devoid of vegetation.

In the hills on both sides, countless tunnels and caves have been dug, and hordes of Celestial warriors and ferocious beasts live in them. All of them are soldiers, well-armed, and all of them are fierce and vicious, ready to swarm at the sound of a command.

Suddenly there was a majestic sound of trumpets from the high mountains, which sounded as if it were coming from some open place, and the rolling music became one, echoing from the mountain walls.

At the top of the hill stood a black rock, round like a sphere, the exposed part about the height of a man, half buried in the earth. It doesn't seem to belong to the human world, as if it fell from the sky, but on the black rock, there are blood-red scriptures inscribed.

He looked at the scripture carefully, and said with a shocked face, "That's the curse of the Heavenly Demon!"

Two grey mountains were slowly approaching, and between the walls between them, there was a deep valley, which was actually a dark and mysterious passage, where there was a steady stream of heavenly demon spells and the roar of ghosts and wolves.

Li Ku looked at it and sweated profusely, and thought in surprise: "The Heavenly Demon actually set up a cursed barrier there, and introduced the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao and the Hell Dao into the human world one after another!"

The aura of fear from demons and undead lingers through the hills, scurrying into the surrounding clearings. The hungry demons howled, the hordes of hell followed, the poisonous fires of anger and hatred burning, and the chill of fear spread rapidly across the land. It is the place where the most evil beings gather, who gather in fear and discuss evil schemes. In this darkness, he could not count the number of demons and demons, judging from the momentum, thousands, tens of thousands, seemingly endless.

Li Ku couldn't help but sit on the ground, looking flustered.

Pan'er hurriedly helped him up and asked, "What do you see?"

Li Ku shook his head firmly, and said in horror: "I can't fight at all! I can't fight at all! There are too many evil ghosts! There are too many demons! Everything here will be swallowed up by darkness!"

Pan'er had never seen such a frightened look when she had never seen Lizhu, as if she was desperate, and asked, "Have you seen the Heavenly God Kingdom?

The scenes that the bitter general saw described to Pan'er.

Pan'er couldn't help but be worried, and said, "Then what should I do? Is the world going to become hell?"

But in the north, there is a broken mountain and plateau, and over the steep cliffs, there is a forest with fertile land and fruit, where the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed the best place to take refuge. He hurriedly said, "Garuda is right, if you can bring the people to the valley in the north, it will be safer than in this desert, where there are no natural dangers or barriers. It is a pity that the king would not have taken this opinion at all. ”

Pan'er pondered for a moment and said, "I know that you are worried about the lives of the people here, but you are just hiding...... Where else is there to hide...... Evade...... There's nowhere to run......"

He was stunned for a moment, looked up at Pan'er, he couldn't help but feel that Pan'er, who had always been weak and shy, had a glimmer of fire in his eyes. I only heard her say: "Is there a way out in the world? The weak eat the strong, the living are ruined, the good people are dead, and the rest are just walking dead...... Mom and Dad are also dead...... Where is the light?"

I couldn't help but feel very sorry for my suffering, and muttered to myself: "Where is the light? Buddha, where is the light?"

Pan'er said firmly: "When Garuda returns, I will let him take me back to the Central Plains! I want to meet the Holy Lord and ask the Holy Lord to send troops to support here and jointly resist the Heavenly God Kingdom!"

Liku fell into deep thought, thinking: "Pan'er is right, there is no light, demons are rampant, people's hearts are muddy, where else can we retreat? I am bent on seeking the Tao, but where is the Tao? Not in the * day, not in the * day, not in the * day, right here, in this Suva world!" He thought about it, and there was only one Buddha sentence left in his mind: If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?

He immediately cheered up and said, "Pan'er, what you said is right! We should unite all sentient beings who still have light in our hearts to resist the heavenly demons! As long as there is still a light, the light is still in the world!"

Pan'er took his hand, smiled slightly, and said: "Pan'er will always remember the first time I saw you, you told me that it is precisely because of people's greed that the world will become like this, and the path you have to take is not for your own happiness, but for the happiness of all beings." What you said, Pan'er has always kept in mind. At that time, Pan'er was already ...... It's already ......" she blushed, what she wanted to say was that she had already liked the suffering at that time, but these few words were never spoken.

In the end, I only heard her say, "I just want to be with you forever." ”

looked at him in a daze, at this moment, how could he not understand her intentions. He turned his head slightly, avoiding Pan'er's affectionate eyes.

Pan'er saw that he was deliberately avoiding himself, so he couldn't help but smile slightly, and suddenly said, "I don't know what happened to Sister Hongying and Garuda?"

Li Ku nodded, and continued to use his heavenly eye to look at the sea to the east. But as the king had said, there was a great whirlpool roaring there. Below that, is the nest of the Cana tribe. Beneath the maelstrom, the waters swirl wildly.

Suddenly, I saw the snorting of a man, "bang", leaping out of the tide, the sound as clear as a rock falling into the dark shadows.

But above the churning waves, there stood two towering and magnificent towers. Facing the west, east, and south, the tower has a myriad of sparkling eyes, as if they never let up monitoring everything around them.

The man's red shadow flashed and shouted, "Garuda, let's go!"

Liku's face was overjoyed, and he shouted, "It's Hongying!"

Then, I saw a giant bird also surging out of the tide, setting off layers of waves, and the tide rushed to the tower in an instant, blocking the view of the countless eyes. Then, Garuda grabbed the red shadow, spread his wings and flew high, flying towards the Western Regions.

He couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately manipulated the Divine Realm spell and greeted them.

But seeing that Hongying's face was full of red light, he took a closer look, and he was shocked to see that Hongying's right hand was actually holding a person's head. It was a beautiful woman's head, but her hair was a myriad of poisonous snakes glowing with blue light.

This head is none other than Queen Medusa, the queen of Cana. Liku had never seen Medusa, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Hongying saw Liku's flight from afar, grinned, and walked towards Liku.

Li Ku was afraid that she would fall from the air, so he hurriedly stepped forward and caught her.

Hongying suddenly hugged him, kissed him, smiled sweetly, and said softly: "You really care about me!"

Li Ku was so shocked that he hurriedly pushed her away and said, "You're fine!"

However, Hongying was not angry at all, and said, "I'm sorry, I know that you are a monk and need to abide by the rules and precepts. What I didn't do right before, I'll change it later. ”

Stunned for a moment, Hongying's words were reasonable, seeing that her face was gentle and calm, and she hadn't seen her for a day, she couldn't help but wonder how she became unhappy and angry?

Li Ku pointed to the head of the person she was holding in her hand and asked in horror, "Is this ...... Is this a human head or a demon?"

Hongying smiled slightly and said, "This is a great gift I want to give to the king of the Western Regions!"

Feeling confused, he saw Garuda galloping over and said, "This is Queen Medusa of Cana!"

Li Ku was suddenly shocked and said, "You have killed Queen Jana!"

Garuda shook her head and said, "When I came, she was already dead. ”

He asked suspiciously, "You went to Cana's lair just to kill this Queen of Cana?"

I only heard Hongying say: "Self, it can be regarded as removing a harm for the people of this country." ”

Li Ku couldn't help but look at Hongying again, and was secretly surprised in his heart, only to feel that she seemed to be a completely different person, and he didn't know what happened to her at the bottom of the sea, and what magic Queen Nagana had cast on her.

After a while, they returned to Western Regions City. When Pan'er saw Hongying, she was also happy in her heart, and quickly ran forward and said happily: "Sister Hongying, it's good for you to come back!"

Hongying reached out to hold Pan'er's arm and said with concern, "Sister, how is your body recovering now?"

Pan'er couldn't help but be stunned, and said in a low voice: "It's much better, thank you, Sister Hongying......"

It was the early morning of the second day, but the darkness had completely expanded, and huge black clouds obscured the sky, and the sun was never visible. Moreover, this darkness caused a very heavy pressure on the hearts of the people of the city, and everyone felt that death was imminent.

Seeing this, Hongying asked, "What's going on here?"

Li Ku said: "The Heavenly God Kingdom is ready to attack here. ”

Hongying said, "Take me to the king first." ”

As they walked down the flat streets, they saw a multitude of people gathered around them, crowded on the side of the road in an orderly manner, waiting for the arrival of the king and the princes and ministers, as if waiting for the arrival of death and the announcement of the death sentence.

A large number of troops had been assembled in the city, and under the dark and gloomy winds, the heavily cloaked sentinels patrolled back and forth without slackening. Uniform tents and processions, sturdy horse rings, a large number of weapons, and spears like a dense forest were set on the ground.

Seeing this scene, it seems that it is even more embarrassing and severe than yesterday.

The bad news soon came again, and the guards at the head of the city shouted, "The vanguard of the Heavenly God Kingdom is here!"

The people of the whole city were in a panic, and for a while they became a pot of porridge, and the cries and shouts came one after another, as if the time of death had come.

Suddenly, he saw the king wearing armor and riding a war horse towards the city. He saw that the people of the whole country had no fighting spirit, his face was very solemn, he stood at the head of the city and looked out, the vanguard of the Heavenly God Kingdom came more than a hundred miles away, he didn't know how many people and horses were in front of him, in this darkness, he couldn't calculate the exact number, he only knew that judging from the momentum of the other party, there were only a few thousand.

And the army temporarily formed on the side of the Western Regions has tens of thousands of people, ten times more than the other side.

Just as he was looking around at the number of people, he saw Hongying leap up to the city, presented Medusa's head with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, I have beheaded Queen Cana and dedicated it to the king." This human head can greatly boost the morale of the military and the people. ”

The king was astonished and looked intently at the human head of Medusa, but it was true. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, took the head and held it high, and said aloud to the people of the city: "The Great Bodhisattva of the Shura King has beheaded the leader of the Gana Demons! This is great news, the strength of the Heavenly God Kingdom has been greatly damaged, and our country will win!"

When the people of the whole country saw this human head, they were all surprised, and then they cheered, and everyone was in high spirits, shouting: "Long live the Western Regions Kingdom! Long live the king! The great bodhisattva's magic power is boundless!"

The king bowed deeply to the red tassel and said happily: "This human head has come at a good time! It has greatly boosted the morale of our army and people! Please accept the little king's bow!"

Seeing this scene, Liku was very relieved, and hurriedly stepped forward to look, only to see that the vanguard troops of the Heavenly God Kingdom hundreds of miles away were all human beings, not the dragon yaksha and the demons released by the Heavenly Demons from hell.

Pan'er took a step forward, bowed to the king and said, "Your Majesty, the little girl is now willing to rush to the Central Plains Dynasty to ask for support!"

The king was about to answer, when suddenly he saw the black-robed man behind him, who stepped forward again, put his mouth to the king's ear and whispered. None of the people present heard him speak.

Liku felt that this person was very weird, and at the moment he made a mark in his ears and listened to it.

I only heard the black-robed man whisper: "Your Majesty needs to beware of the Central Plains people, right now our country has a great chance of winning, enough to defeat the Heavenly God Kingdom alone." Why do you want the Central Plains Dynasty to come over and share our piece of the pie? If the Central Plains Dynasty is concerned about the wealth of our country and sends troops to turn against the other side and join forces with the Heavenly God Kingdom to attack our country, it will not be good. ”

Li Ku couldn't help but be angry and anxious, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Majesty, the front is just a group of vanguard troops, and the magic power of the little monk can block them." The real threat is still to come, the Heavenly Demons have set up a hell barrier, and the demons and demons in that hell are a hundred times more than the soldiers in front, and their ferocity and cruelty are a thousand times that of the Heavenly God Kingdom! You must unite all the forces in the world now! All the light! Even if there is only a glimmer of light, don't give up!"
