Chapter 137: Mountains and Rivers

"Pound β€”β€”!"

The scorching flames were mixed with fragments of the 'Demon Gu' that were scattered, like scattered fireworks meteors, sweeping towards Jiang Yao and the others in the momentum of a thousand troops!

"Everyone, be careful!"

At the moment of the explosion, Uncle Yun's palm suddenly flashed, and he saw a translucent enchantment erected in the air around Jiang Yao and the others, blocking all the shrapnel-like fragments and shock waves;

"It's not good...... Jiang Yao's face suddenly changed when he saw this, but at this moment, it was not only a mountain in front of him that collapsed, fueled by the aftermath of the explosion, another mountain behind everyone also showed signs of landslides.

"Hold on!"

In a moment of astonishment, Jiang Yao only felt a tightness around his waist, and then he was picked up by the gluttonous waist and jumped straight to the high ground not far away, while Chen Siyi and the others on the side took off into the air under Uncle Yun's spell, and the translucent enchantment light shield instantly changed, wrapping the rest of the people in the form of a sphere, and flew towards the high ground in front of them.

"Bang!!"

The mudslides on both sides converged, engulfing the road where everyone was originally located in an instant, but the surging mountains and rocks did not stop there, but went all the way down like galloping wild horses, rushing straight to the ancient city of Weiyang in the distance.

"It's ...... Serial landslides!?"

Chen Siyi, who was escorted to the high ground, turned pale, and through the translucent sphere barrier, she saw that the continuous dirt slopes below were pulled one after another like dominoes, collapsing one after another, and if this trend continued, a catastrophe was inevitable.

"Oops, keep going like this...... The ancient city is going to be destroyed!"

Chen Siyi's voice trembled, and at this time, she was powerless to stop it, the tragic status quo pushed despair, but in the cracks of all thoughts, the change abruptly arose.

"Rumbleβ€”β€”!

With the light of the thunder and lightning that flowed rapidly, everyone suddenly found that the originally deafening roar under their feet suddenly seemed to have been cut off, and even the rushing mudslide came to a standstill, and the whole picture seemed to be frozen in an instant, and it was frozen in front of everyone.

"What's ......?"

Jiang Yao stared at all this in front of him dumbfounded, and the sharp turn of the scene made him a little unable to react for a while, but in shock, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a line of sight projected from behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw a familiar figure standing on the top of the mountain not far away.

With long gray hair, a rickety body, and an old smoking gun, this person is none other than the "doorman" old man that Jiang Yao and Tao met in the ancient mansion before.

It's him!?

Jiang Yao was surprised, and at this time, the once solidified mudslide below began to thaw again, only this time those rocks did not flow to the ancient city in the distance, but slowly retracted back like a video rewind, and when the dust settled, Jiang Yao looked up at the old man again, but it was difficult to find a trace of the other party.

"Just now...... What happened?"

Chen Siyi froze in place, as if he had not recovered from his previous shock.

"Perhaps, the gods bless. Uncle Yun looked up at the mountains as if he had some feelings, and said meaningfully. As the enchantment light ball slowly landed, calm had returned to everyone's eyes, and even the downpour began to fade away, leaving only the fragments of the corpses of the 'Demon Gu' that gradually dissipated with the wind, reminding everyone of the huge catastrophe that had passed by before.

"Ouch~ It shouldn't have been a dream just now, right? It's really scared to death!" Wu Laoliu's noisy voice sounded again, and I saw him sit on the ground with his buttocks, reach out and wipe his wet greasy long hair, panting heavily, and almost lying on the ground directly.

"The old man...... Could it be ......?" Jiang Yao muttered in a low voice, looking at the gluttony beside him with some uncertainty, but seeing that the other party's face was still that indifferent, he didn't see any surprise at all.

"It doesn't matter who he is, it's settled. Tao Tao didn't answer directly, just raised his eyes to look at the whiteness of the fish belly that was gradually rising on the side of the mountain, and then seemed to sense something, and moved his gaze to a certain crystal object under a fragment of 'Demon Gu' in front of him.

"Hmm, what is this?" Jiang Yao also found the object, stepped forward to pick it up, and found that it seemed to be a crimson oval stone, with a faint light wrapped around it, exuding some kind of strange aura.

"'Gu Dan'...... Oh, it seems that this trip is not in vain. Gluttony glanced at the stone in Jiang Yao's hand and said with a smile. "Take it, it's still a little useful to you now. ”

"'Gu Dan' is the inner pill of 'Demon Gu', which can release powerful mana, and is an excellent self-defense weapon. Uncle Yun explained. "This time, you can successfully solve the 'Demon Gu', the two of you are unbreakable, and you will hold this treasure. ”

Uncle Yun said, casting his inquiring gaze on Chen Siyi, who nodded lightly and did not object.

"Now that the matter is over, let the Lingyutai and them clean up the aftermath. Gluttony yawned, and then looked at Chen Siyi again. "As for the 'reward' you offered earlier, I think you should know what to do, right?"

"I understand that since the matter has been resolved, I will give you the 'Continuation Pulse Grass' as promised. Chen Siyi nodded seriously, but when she thought of the several lives that had fallen before, deep self-blame and entanglement appeared in her eyes. "It's just that I really didn't expect that a 'corpse mutiny case' would involve so many things and so many lives...... If I had noticed Ah Xing's abnormality earlier, I wouldn't have ......."

"Even if you're noticing...... I also...... I will never let them go!"

The words of resentment sounded from behind everyone with an indissoluble pathos, and I saw that Ah Xing had woken up at some point and was trembling and getting up from the ground.

"Ah Xing, why are you ...... this?"

"But they killed the one I love the most!" Ah Xing roared, tears streaming down his haggard face.

"Years ago...... I once disappeared in the mountains and fell off a cliff to die, it was Xiaojie who saved my life, and it was for her that I came to work in Chen's Pharmacy......"

Ah Xing whimpered, his bloodshot eyes filled with boundless longing and sadness.

"I like her, I respect her, I look up to her, even if I've never really been with her, but for me, it's enough to be there for her...... But even such a humble wish was ruined by those few people in the end! I hate them! Even if I am sent to hell, I will never let them go! Xiaojie ...... Xiaojie, she must also hope that I can avenge her......"

"No, if it were my sister, she wouldn't want to see you like this. ”

Zhao Minmin, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth, only to see her slowly raise her head, look at Ah Xing with a stunned face with compassionate eyes, and said softly.

"Sister, she is kind by nature, even if she is misunderstood by the world, she has no complaints, so she will not be willing to let you kill for her. ”

"'Sister'?"

This is not only Ah Xing, but even Chen Siyi was slightly stunned and asked.

"Could it be that Wen Jie, she is your ......?"

"She is my half-sister, and it is precisely to track down her whereabouts that I came to work in the Chen family pharmacy. ”

Zhao Minmin said, reached out and took off the necklace around his neck, and between the broken pendants, a group photo was carefully preserved inside. Jiang Yao glanced at the photo, and saw that the beautiful woman in the photo with similar eyebrows to Zhao Minmin was smiling gently, obviously this person was Wen Jie, who disappeared a year ago.

"When I heard that my sister had an accident, I decided to come here to investigate. During this time, I have been tracking down the truth about my sister's disappearance, and since our family has a blood relationship with the 'Wu Zhu' lineage, I have indeed found some clues about my sister's disappearance with some spells. It's just that before he had time to dig deeper, Wang Le's drowning and 'corpse mutiny' incident occurred. ”

"The bloodline of the 'Wu Zhu' line?" Jiang Yao thought of something. "So Your Blood Can ......"

"Well, the 'Wuzhu' lineage belonged to the wizard clan in ancient times, and the bloodline implied mana, and because of this, the 'Wuzhu's blood' was extremely attractive to demons. Zhao Minmin explained. "Actually, after Ah Xing and Wang Le came back from the mountains, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't expect that the 'Demon Gu' was actually parasitic in Ah Xing's body......"

"In other words, the time when Ah Xing was parasitized by the 'Demon Gu' was really when he went into the mountain to buy medicinal materials, and I am afraid that it is inseparable from the so-called 'mysterious benefactor' who taught him Gu techniques. That man...... Who the hell is it?"

Jiang Yao thought about it, turned his head and turned his inquiring gaze to Ah Xing, but suddenly found that the other party's expression was a little wrong.

"Xiaojie's ...... Younger sister...... I...... I actually ...... I almost killed Xiaojie's sister!?...... I ......" Ah Xing staggered, babbling in his mouth, and in his dilated pupils, some dark cloud-like shadows began to spread rapidly.

"Ah Xing, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Ah Xing's state was a little wrong, Jiang Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support the other party, but as soon as he touched Ah Xing, Jiang Yao immediately noticed that the other party's body was as cold as a dead corpse, and such a strange situation made Jiang Yao's heart suddenly feel uneasy.

"I ...... I didn't do anything wrong...... I'm doing this for Xiaojie!No, no...... I actually killed Xiaojie's sister, I ...... What the hell have I done??" Chaotic sentences kept coming out of Ah Xing's mouth, and under the loss of consciousness, Ah Xing's whole person seemed to fall into madness.

"Ah Xing, you be sober!" Seeing Ah Xing's appearance, Chen Siyi also began to worry. "How so...... Could it be the sequelae of being parasitized by the 'Demon Gu'? Who is the 'man' he met in the mountains in the first place!?"

"That day...... ...... ...... "that person" that you met?" Ah Xing covered his head in pain, and in the blocked memory, there seemed to be a vague figure flashing in his mind.

"That man...... That person is ...... Ahh

The trivial silent thought came to an abrupt end, and Ah Xing's eyes suddenly regained clarity in an instant, and his face at this time was not only shocked, but also filled with deep disbelief.

"I remembered...... That's, that's ......!!"

"Crackleβ€”"

A strange black light crossed Ah Xing's chest, and the last light in Ah Xing's eyes also dissipated at that moment, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, Ah Xing just opened his eyes and slowly fell to the ground, no longer silent.
