The moon in mid-sky has passed the middle of the sky, it is already late at night, Zhao Yichen endured sleepiness and physical exhaustion, and still shuttled through the mountains. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info guided him not by the moonlight, but by the call he perceived in his consciousness.

In fact, it is quite far-fetched to say that he feels a calling, because fundamentally he just feels that something inexplicable is attracting him. After a short ideological struggle, Zhao Yichen resolutely stepped into the deep mountains.

I don't know how long I left, Zhao Yichen was really tired and thirsty. After bending over and gasping for a while, he decided to find some evil place to find some water to drink.

From just now to now, Zhao Yichen estimated that at his own speed, he had already run no less than thirty or forty miles of mountain roads, and if he didn't find some water, let alone find treasures, he might have to explain first. But with a huge mountain forest, where to find water is a problem. He looked around, but his gaze was blocked by the dense woods, and he couldn't see the distance at all.

No way, it's not easy to find something in the middle of the night. As a last resort, Zhao Yichen had to endure and continue to move forward. But fortunately, the attraction is getting stronger and stronger, and it must not be nearby, nor far away.

Thinking like this, Zhao Yichen followed that feeling for another half an hour, and finally entered the depths of a deep valley. Zhao Yichen looked forward. I saw that the trees in front of me were sparse, and there was moonlight shining through them, and it was vaguely a clearing, and it seemed to have the sound of water.

Hearing the sound of water, Zhao Yichen was energetic, and he didn't care about any calls for the time being, and walked in the direction where the sound of water came from.

After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up, and under the moonlight, a clear green spring flowed out of the mountain stream, and then converged into a large pool on the flat ground.

Under the moonlight, the surface of the waterhole rippled with a burst of snow white, matching with the original turquoise spring water, like a piece of jasper lifting a white veil on the surface.

It's just strange that there is no sign of life around such a beautiful pool. According to common sense, water is the root of all living things, and there should be many animals inhabiting such deep mountain waterholes.

But on the edge of this waterhole, let alone animals, there is not even a single grass growing within a radius of 100 meters, and the only thing standing next to it is some withered tree trunks, which makes this waterhole not look so monotonous.

Could it be that this waterhole can still be haunted?

But at this time, Zhao Yichen, who was thirsty, would not think so much, lined with the moonlight, he came to this waterhole in three steps and two steps, picked up the spring water in the waterhole and drank it violently, and after drinking, he picked up the water and washed his face.

Because he drank more eagerly and moved heavily, he didn't notice at all that the black qi in his body moved slightly after approaching this puddle. However, this action is small and disappears in an instant, so it is difficult to detect.

After drinking the water happily, Zhao Yichen sat on the edge of the waterhole, breathing in the fresh air of the mountains while sighing at the sweetness of the spring water. There's nothing better than a fountain of thirst.

The mountains are moving, and the breeze is gentle.

Zhao Yichen's cheeks were blown by the soft mountain breeze, and his fatigue suddenly disappeared slightly, and his spirit was much better. He stretched, stood up, and looked around, only to find that there was no living thing around, and it was so strange.

At this moment, Zhao Yichen suddenly felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen, and then before he could react, the burning sensation spread to his whole body. There were a few "clicks" all over the body, and the bones sounded like popping beans. He was taken aback, and hurriedly probed the inside of his body, and was suddenly startled, only to see that the black qi in his body was now rotating in his lower abdomen, like a spinning top, and like a whirlpool, and there were countless terrifying breaths in it like a wolf and a tiger, constantly trying to break free from the restraints and rush out. What stood in their way was the whirlpool of black qi, and at this moment there was a flash of blue light in it, restricting the movement of the black qi.

How did Zhao Yichen know that the seemingly simple black qi in his body was actually an existence that terrified countless monks in a certain primeval era. There are not many records here, but it is known that there was a great supernatural monk back then, and with this black qi as the source, there were few opponents in the world. If a living creature approaches the black qi, it will only take a moment or three to be corroded and lead to death, which is really a terrifying evil qi.

And after that, the great masters of that generation of Shengmen once issued a killing order for ten thousand daos, summoned ten thousand daos in the world, and offered a reward to kill the monks who used this black qi. For a while, the monastic community reached a consensus that had never been reached, and they worked together to kill the monk.

The record of what happened after that is not very clear, only that the great monk disappeared for some reason, and after that, for 1,800 years, this black qi has never appeared in the world again. Over time, this black aura was also forgotten by later cultivators.

Although the older generation of people is very afraid of black gas, some books have been written to record it and warn future generations to be cautious. But after the death of the older generation, and the fact that there has been no accident with such a murderous thing for thousands of years, no one pays attention to it anymore.

However, perhaps it is the creation of its own in the underworld, after 1,800 years, this black gas has finally appeared in the world again, is it fierce or auspicious? It's hard to say for sure.

Although Zhao Yichen didn't know that there were so many twists and turns during this period, he naturally knew in his heart that the situation was very bad. In a panic, he hurriedly mobilized his consciousness to assist the whirlpool, wanting to restrain the black qi in his body.

That vortex was originally generated in Zhao Yichen's body, and it complemented his consciousness, and after receiving his consciousness, it turned out to be a little more vigorous. But before Zhao Yichen could show a smile, the blue light suddenly dimmed again, and at the same time, those black qi had already broken free with a cold aura scurrying in his body.

After a while, Zhao Yichen's whole body was numb, the muscles of his whole body spasmed, and his face was even more black, so it was terrifying.

Around him, a large amount of black gas began to gather again, obscuring the sky and the moon, even more than the scene outside the door of the hut that day.

Zhao Yichen was shocked and at a loss, but he felt that the inside of his body was hot and cold, painful and itchy, and the feeling of his muscles and veins being corroded by black gas was like ten thousand ants gnawing at him. From time to time, there was nausea in his chest, but there was nothing to vomit in his throat, and it was really worse than death.

He couldn't bear it anymore, the whole person was originally standing, but now he was staggering back in the wrong direction, only to feel the blood in his chest surging, his feet were weak, and he was already sitting on the ground. This one sat down, and the qi and blood in the body were churning, and now it was even more raging, and it was shocked by the black qi and flowed backwards along the tendons.

Zhao Yichen only felt that there was a warm current flowing out of his eyes, ears, nose and throat, and before he could react, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

At this time, he was already on the edge of the waterhole, he forcibly used his last consciousness to control the whirlpool in his lower abdomen, and reluctantly made the blue light in the whirlpool more abundant, although he relieved some pain, but only for a moment, his consciousness was shaken open by the black qi again. Zhao Yichen can't take care of so much at this time, and it is a moment to be able to slow down. It's just that those black qi are really domineering, coupled with the attraction of these wandering black qi outside the body, echoing inside and out, which makes him feel that the muscles and veins of his whole body are twisted together. His eyes were soaked in blood, and he couldn't see what was in front of him clearly, and his breathing was also disordered, and he spurted out another mouthful of blood with a pop.

At this moment, only a strange sound sounded, and Zhao Yichen only felt a tearing sensation on his back, but all the black qi in his body spurted out of his back. From a distance, it looked like a pair of black wings spreading out on Zhao Yichen's back. Suddenly, Zhao Yichen's face was even more black, like a demon who had been sleeping for eternity, and woke up again.

Almost at the same time, a loud bang rose from the center of the pool, and suddenly the wind and clouds surged in the sky, and the gravel on the edge of the pool was blown by the strong wind, and hit the trees on the side, making a loud bang. In the waterhole, the waves suddenly rose and swirled around the center of the pool, forming a huge whirlpool. In the center of the vortex, an unknown piece of metal rises from it, spinning in the air. Around it, the countless black qi that had been lingering for a long time was forcibly absorbed by the vortex it formed. It is said that it was forcibly absorbed, but it was because when those black qi felt this vortex, they were ready to disperse immediately, but it was already too late.

In the sound of whistling water waves, Zhao Yichen found that his body was light, and he was actually sucked into the air by the powerful suction caused by the whirlpool, and then fell heavily to the ground. Zhao Yichen fell to the ground, burned inside, dizzy, and reached out to wipe the blood that overflowed from his eyes. It didn't matter, but I saw the blood in his whole body slowly flowing out, flowing towards his hand.

At this time, with blood as the guide, the whirlpool in Zhao Yichen's body seemed to have found some opportunity, turning into a stream of black gas and quickly transferring to his hand, and a blood-colored vortex formed in his hand. Then his hand involuntarily raised. As soon as this blood-colored vortex appeared, the vortex formed by the black qi behind him suddenly became honest and turned to the rhythm of the blood-colored vortex.

The scene on the edge of the waterhole is very interesting, Zhao Yichen has a whirlpool behind him, a whirlpool in his hand, and a whirlpool in front of him, which looks very strange. But Zhao Yichen couldn't feel it, because his consciousness was already blurred.

Strange to say, as soon as the blood-colored vortex in his hand spun around, the strange thing in the water also seemed to have found a target, and shot out sharply, rushing towards the blood-colored vortex. A moment later, there was another loud bang, and the two whirlpools collided violently, and Zhao Yichen was shocked and flew dozens of meters away, and then stopped on top of the tree trunk.

Zhao Yichen was already dizzy at this time, looked down, and found a strange piece of iron stuck to his hand through the blood-colored vortex, and subconsciously shook his hand, but he couldn't get rid of it.

The iron piece left the pool, and the waves in the pool slowly subsided, and finally returned to calm, still turquoise.

Besides, the piece of iron stuck to Zhao Yichen's hand, bringing all the black qi he had just absorbed to the vortex of fighting blood. With the massive invasion of black qi, the blood-colored vortex retreated one after another, and there were faint signs of collapse.

At this time, Zhao Yichen felt a tingling pain in his palms, and a lot of essence blood was attracted by the whirlpool all over his body, seeping out from the surface of the skin, making the whirlpool more and more scarlet. Correspondingly, Zhao Yichen's face was pale, his whole body trembled, his body was shaky, and he was about to fall.

As more and more blood oozed from his hands, the blood-colored vortex spun faster and faster, launching a counterattack, and gradually began to overwhelm the black qi on the iron sheet.

Finally, with the efforts of the blood-colored vortex, the black qi was temporarily suppressed, and the blood on Zhao Yichen's hand dripped onto the iron sheet at this time. The iron sheet trembled slightly, and the black qi behind it suddenly condensed into a ball, and there was a pair of empty eyes faintly in the center of the black qi, which opened slowly, looked at Zhao Yichen for a moment, and then closed it again, disappearing in the center of the black qi.

At the same time, all the black qi on the iron sheet was absorbed into the iron plate, and the blood-colored vortex dissipated without a trace.

All this happened so suddenly that Zhao Yichen didn't know what was going on. He just felt a chill pass from the palm of his hand into his body, relieving the sharp pain in his body, and then fainted.

And the piece of iron, lying quietly in his hand at the moment, flashed a few times with black light, and there was no more reaction.
