Jiaohe Ancient City, the earliest name is Gushi, founded by the ancient Europa.

Probably during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army defeated Gushi, changed the name of the country to Cheshi, and divided it into the front and rear of Cheshi, as well as the six countries of Shanbei. This is the gateway for the Xiongnu to enter the Western Regions, and it is also the traffic artery from Yumen Pass along the middle section of the Silk Road into the Western Regions, which has been a battleground since ancient times.

By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Xiongnu had been trapped for eight years, and the king abandoned the city. Since then, Jiaohe has been incorporated into Gaochang, and the name of Cheshi has completely disappeared.

Later, the Central Plains was unified, the Tang Dynasty was established, and there were frequent exchanges between the East and the West. Gaochang is extremely heavy, and all major sects want to occupy it.

At that time, there were at least five or six groups of people from Buddhism, shamans, fire Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, etc. And the most noisy are Buddhism and shamanism.

There is no way to test how to fight during the period, anyway, it was Buddhism that won in the end, and Gaochang also became a Buddhist country.

This information is the conclusion of the Archmage's study of the texts. As for this underground cave, it was built by shamanic ancestors to fight back against paganism.

The Flame Mountain is a place of strange creation, where yin and yang are born, and pregnancy and ferocity are born. When the ancestors exhausted their resources, they wanted to breed a peerless beast. Unfortunately, before it could succeed, it was defeated by the enemy, and the shamanism of the Northwest has since declined.

He thought it was the work of Buddhism, but when he checked the bones just now, he found a piece of Daomen jade pendant. Look at this, it was actually two families who joined forces back then......

The archmage looked at the altar with mixed emotions for a moment. He didn't know what it was, but it had only been named in the ancient books, a very strange name: ghost.

The ghost, insect-shaped, six-legged and four-winged, sees a great drought in the world!

"Archmage, what do we do now?" a mage asked.

"Move the bones out of the way, put them together, watch the ghosts, and let them go up. ”

"Yes!"

The crowd immediately carried out the action, removing the dozen or so skeletons, either intact or fragmentary, to reveal the central altar. On this altar stood twelve columns, one side black and the other grimacing, facing the pool of liquid.

At the very front, there is another small platform, like a place for the altar practice.

"Dang!"

Several mages held the bone chime in their hands and struck it with a small white-headed hammer. The twelve ghosts roared hoarsely, slowly walked up to the altar, and stood in front of the pillar.

Several more men went up and tied them tightly, and then pierced their hearts, each receiving a few drops of green blood.

The archmage took the bowl and stabbed himself as well, dripping black blood into it, and closed his eyes. When the five mages saw this, they hurriedly retreated behind them and stood quietly.

The archmage's lips moved slightly, and he recited an ancient incantation, and then turned the bowl downward, and the blue and black blood inside poured into the pool of liquid.

The water was very thick and cloudy, like a boiled glue soup. Blood poured into it, and after a while, it was bubbling inside.

The red and black qi in the cave slowly swam, gathered, grew larger and larger, and finally formed a whirlpool in the air.

“……”

The archmage opened his eyes, red light flashed, and he continued to chant the incantation.

Thundered!

Rumble!

The whirlpool became stronger and stronger, and became one with the water of the pool, boiling like a boiling pot. Everyone trembled under their feet, forced themselves to stand, and watched the mountain wall shake, and they all felt that the sky was falling.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, two long, thick, tentacle-like things sprang out of the water.

After a few seconds, I heard a louder "Whoa!"

The surface of the water parted, and the tentacles rose sharply, bringing out a gigantic head. The skull is reddish-brown in color, covered with dense spikes, and compound eyes, made up of tens of thousands of small eyes, are separated from side to side, taking up almost half of the space.

There is no nasal passage, and the mouth protrudes under the eyes. You can clearly see the four mouthparts, as well as the serrated blade of the lower jaw.

“……”

As soon as the ghost's head came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone was drenched and frightened.

"Great, archmage......" someone said in a trembling voice.

"Don't panic, go on!"

He reluctantly pressed his hand, and then chanted the incantation.

"Whoa!"

When the spell of a thousand years ago reached the pool, I saw that the head twisted slightly, and the two eyes turned from gray to red, and then the mouth opened.

"Phew!"

"Roar!"

The twelve ghost men screamed in unison, and the blood in their bodies could not withstand the external pressure, and they burst out of their bodies violently, merging into twelve green streams, flowing into the hideous giant mouth.

"Giggle...... Boom......"

Everyone didn't dare to move, only their teeth couldn't help chattering, and they fully felt a kind of biological level of crushing and fear. In front of this fierce beast, he is like an ant, and he will be trampled to death in minutes.

Can we really control it?

More than one person inexplicably had this thought.

"Phew!"

In just a few seconds, the flesh of the twelve ghost men was sucked dry, leaving a shriveled skin bag tied to the cylinder. The ghost writhed again, with a hint of confusion, confusion, and anger.

It's like a child who hasn't eaten enough, but doesn't know how to vent, which is particularly weird.

The red eyes flashed, turned back to gray, and then sank down, about to retract into the pool.

"Sacrifice is insufficient!

The archmage was the first to react, shouting at the top of his voice.

"We don't have any sacrifices!" replied one of the mages.

"No? how could it not?"

He glanced around, just in time for a congregation. The sect member retreated again and again, his face pale, and begged for mercy: "No, Archmage, no...... Ahh

The man lunged forward, was caught in his hand, and then cut his heart and threw him into the pool.

"Phew!"

The ghost smelled the food, and simply poked its mouthparts into the other party's body, and instantly became a human dry.

"Hahaha, how can the hard work of several generations be broken in my hands?

The archmage looked like he was mad and shouted, "What about people, I need more sacrifices!"

He grabbed it with both hands, and the seven or eight surviving subordinates threw them all over one by one.

They are not as appetizing as ghosts, but they have also practiced secret arts, and they have the aura of yin ghosts. In the blink of an eye, the ghost sucked up the blood and floated upwards, revealing a small part of its body.

The body is also reddish-brown, flattened and broad, and the back appears to have four pairs of wings.

The archmage's method is correct, but unfortunately he ignores one point: the ancient ghost refining technique is not comparable to the current one. He refined the ghost man, but the quality was seriously poor, and he couldn't feed the belly of the beast at all.

He saw the ghost stop again, and stared at the five mages.

"For the glory of our ancestors!"

The mage has a high status and is very religious in his beliefs, so three people immediately jumped out, took the initiative to cut their hearts, and jumped into the pool.

"Squeak!"

The guy got a stronger yin ghost aura, screamed excitedly, and went up a little further.

The remaining two people were a little less courageous, shaking their heads and begging: "I'll call them over immediately, aren't there still people at the entrance of the cave?"

"Soon, it's time for you to die......

The archmage was gloomy as a ghost, and just wanted to make a move, but suddenly turned his head and shouted, "Who?"

…………

"Wow, what a scene!"

I saw two people falling from the top of the cave, a man and a woman, and the man was quite amazed: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really thought I had crossed over." ”

"Gu Yu, it's really you!"

The archmage suppressed his emotions and regained his composure. He had already guessed that there were not many people who could enter the mountain, and the surname Gu was the most likely.

"Do you recognize me? Oh, Zhang Wei is in the same group as you, right?"

Gu Yu didn't care, looked around, and saw the ghost at a glance. In an instant, a powerful aura that was difficult for him to resist surged.

His heart trembled, these people had led such a fierce beast, and once it got out of control, it would be a disaster to the world.

"Humph!"

The archmage didn't answer, but said, "You came just in time, and it is almost enough to take you down and use them as blood food." ”

"What a big mouth...... Huh, you're born?"

Gu Yu was stunned, the aura on the other party's body was a congenital master, but the foundation was frivolous, either he didn't break through for long, or he took some kind of shortcut, not the right way.

"Isn't it difficult to be born with a twist, I'll let you see it today!"

With a wave of the archmage's bone staff, the super-super-large ghost head flew out, followed by ten more imps. The ghosts seemed to form a small legion, roaring and lunging at the two of them.

As soon as Long Qiu saw it, he was about to release the golden silkworm, but under the divine thought, the golden silkworm did not react.

"Brother, the golden silkworm doesn't move!"

She exclaimed, and then her mind flickered, "Maybe suppressed by that thing." ”

"It's okay, I'll deal with that big guy, be careful!"

Gu Yu admonished, strode forward, and listened to the sound of "snort" breaking through the air, and thirty-five fire cloud needles appeared around him.

With another wave of his hand, the Fire Cloud Needle turned into a fiery dragon, carrying a crimson flame, like a roar in the sky, flying towards the ghost's head.

"Howl!"

Not to be outdone, the ghost head took a big mouth and spewed out a cloud of black mist.

This is the purest yin ghost qi, which is corroded and cleaned in minutes when it comes into contact with ordinary objects. I saw that this black mist was filled, enveloping a small piece of void, and the fire dragon pierced into it, and was instantly engulfed by it, but after an instant, it rushed out again.

Rumble!

When the two magic weapons collided, the fire dragon was even more powerful, and it passed through the body directly, and the ghost head suddenly weakened a lot.

Xiaoqiu's side also showed a long sword, the blue light flashed, and he fought with the little ghost. Seeing this, the two mages hurriedly joined in.

"Howl!"

In the void, the red and black colors fought with each other, flying up and down, and the end was dazzling.

The fire cloud needle takes the green jade of the Tianshan Mountains and the aura of the Fire Continent, and is refined for 7749 days, and the power is unparalleled. Although the ghost face is powerful, it can't resist it at all.

There is no skill to speak of, just four words: one force to descend!

"It's worthy of Phoenix Mountain, hehe......"

The archmage was defeated one after another, but he was not worried, as if he still had a killing move. He laughed twice, his figure flashed, and suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Well?

Gu Yuzheng was strange, and he saw a red light in the ghost's eyes, and the red light appeared from the depths of his eyes, becoming more and more prosperous, as if something was spewing out.

He quickly retreated, guarding carefully.

Immediately, a red glow shot out from that eye, like qi, like light, piercing the void, and it came in an instant. When the red mang arrived, there was another fluctuation, faintly showing the appearance of the archmage.

This is the highest secret technique that exists in the Northwest Diocese: the fusion of one's own entity with the ghost face, the transformation of the virtual and the real, and the infinite change.

"I really think it's congenital, it turns out that it is the loss of Shouyuan's essence, and I am not a human or a ghost. ”

Gu Yu saw his heels at a glance, and he was still in the mood to complain.

I saw that the red light turned into a shadow, enveloping itself. In an instant, he suddenly felt that his divine consciousness trembled, and a force was desperately drilling in, and he was about to attack the divine soul directly.

“……”

He flashed a strange expression, you, fight with me?

Not to mention anything else, in terms of the cultivation and accumulation speed of the essence and spirit, it can be called the first in the world. In terms of the thickness of spiritual power and the strength of his divine sense, he really didn't fear anyone.

Rumble!

Gu Yu's divine thoughts urged, and the unbounded illusion was fully opened, and the opponent was exploded in an instant.

"What?"

The archmage was taken aback, and in horror he found that his consciousness was rapidly lost, and then his eyes darkened.

……

"Ahh

Two screams were heard, and the archmage turned his head to look, but it was two mages who fell into the pool and were sucked dry by the ghost. The big creature was well fed, and he completely surfaced, revealing a small mountain-like body.

Six long legs, four pairs of pointed wings, all reddish-brown, with peerless ferocity.

"This, this ......"

He trembled, without the slightest thought of resisting, and watched as the ghost flew into the air, staring at him like an ant in defiance, and sucked in his mouthparts.

"Ahh

He also let out a scream, and the skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, every nerve was torn unbearably.

……

"Ahh

Inside the cave, a red glow gradually enlarged, returning to a human form, and struggling desperately in front of Gu Yu.

"Let's go!"

When the two mages saw that the boss was being seconded, they were so frightened that they ran away.

"Where to run!"

Xiaoqiu chased after him, and the blue light flashed, and the two of them were easily solved. Looking around, ten little ghosts were also lying on the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's done......"

Seeing that the enemy was all destroyed, Gu Yu couldn't help but shake his body, the archmage's divine sense was not weak, and he had spent a lot of strength.

He ignored the dying red glow and looked only at the ghost.

The ghost has not been fed for a long time, and it has long been impatient, and its tentacles swing lightly, and it will sink to the bottom of the pool at any time. This thing was cultivated by the shamanic ancestors, and it has not yet been officially sacrificed.

The liquid was like amniotic fluid, and it would not take half a step until it had eaten enough sacrifices to ensure that its body had matured, but would continue to sleep.

And with the strength of the archmage, even if it is summoned, it can't be manipulated, and the left and right are dead.

Gu Yu doesn't understand this, but he understands common sense.

The villain died of too much talk, and the decent died of stupidity...... In the face of the birth of all kinds of evil things, the devil descended, and he could obviously stop it, but he made two mistakes in the timing, and often had to take the life of a female spare tire or a male spare tire.

Luckily, he's not too stupid.

Fire Cloud Needle!

A fiery dragon circled in the air and flew straight down, bombing the altar like a bomb. There was only an explosion, and the rubble was splattering, and most of the twelve columns had collapsed, and a large piece of the altar was missing.

“……”

The ghost was ignorant, and his mind had not yet been opened, but he was also taken aback.

The two compound eyes turned from gray to red, and from red to gray, as if to remember this person firmly. After a while, it finally couldn't bear to get tired, twisted its head, and slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.

“……”

Gu Yu was stunned by it, and secretly felt pain, and he was so angry that he was hated by an enemy with this momentum, and he was simply mad.

This fight, the process is short and consumed, and he also has a sense of exhaustion, staggering a few steps, and seeing that the archmage has been swallowed by the illusion, and has turned into a puddle of rotten meat pia there.

"Hey, what's that?"

Long Qiu's eyes were sharp, and he used his long sword to pick open his clothes and pull out a few things: a scroll, a domino, and a jade pendant.
