Chapter 172: The Peak
The old man was all white, and his thick hair and beard were dragged to the ground, filling the ground under the glass cover, and he looked like a birthday boy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this moment, he was sitting peacefully on a rocking chair, holding a puff fan in his hand, hanging his head as if taking a nap, but Cheng Qinghe faintly felt that he was dead, even though his beard and white hair looked very pleasing.
"Are you still alive?" Cheng Qinghe approached and circled around the glass cover, and there was a mysterious power lingering on the transparent glass, which could not be easily touched.
The man in the hood did not answer, she hesitated for a moment, intending to leave, but as soon as she turned around, she heard a cough.
"This fairy friend."
The man behind her called for her.
"So-and-so finally waited for a destined person." He said.
Cheng Qinghe turned his head and saw that the old man had raised his head, his eyes rolled stiffly, and finally set his eyes on Cheng Qinghe.
"What's going on here?" She asked.
The man stood up stiffly, not yet tall to the top of the hood, but his whole body glowed with a silvery white light, and he looked like a god had descended into the world.
He looked around as if for the first time he had seen the scenery outside, and after a few seconds, he told about what had happened in this once-prosperous land.
"Thirty years ago, a caravan came to Fengyin Realm, but there was only one person in this caravan, and he told the old man that he was a caravan from driving corpses, his ancestral home was Xiangxi, and he wanted to bring a group of corpses back to his hometown for funeral......"
Dozens of corpses were driven to carry three iron coffins, and the people of Fengyin Realm arranged a foot coffin for him and ordered the living not to approach.
Fengyin Realm has received countless Taoist cultivators, and has already regarded reception supplies as one of the main sources of income, and when they meet very generous Taoist cultivators, they sometimes receive tips from spirit stones, but the arrival of corpse chasers has not attracted much attention.
It wasn't until two days later that there was a heavy rainstorm that was rare in a century, and the purple lightning with the thickness of the wrist slashed on several iron coffins brought by the corpse chaser, startling everyone.
Most of the Fengyin territory has degenerated into mortals, the old man is one hundred and twenty-one years old, he is already the longest-lived old man in the territory, he has never seen such a heavy rainstorm, the thunder split iron coffin spread throughout the entire Fengyin Realm overnight, he has a strong premonition, these iron coffins, will bring ruin to the Fengyin Realm.
However, after a night of heavy rain, the rain was clear, and the water level rose so high that the exit was flooded, and the corpse chasers could not get out, but the people from outside came in, and the two people who came in came to pick up the corpse chasers.
Speaking of this, the old man's voice paused, and the following statement took on a bit of heaviness.
The two of them, acting very cautiously, kept silent about the three iron coffins, and only said that they needed to transport these things back to the capital as soon as possible.
On that day, the three of them had an argument, but the chasers were reluctant and strongly demanded that the coffin be burned on the spot.
"What happened?" Cheng Qinghe can already guess the following development.
The two men forced him to go down to the coffin and carry the thing out of the water, but as soon as the road entered the water, the iron coffin split open from the inside...... Many people died on the spot, everyone scattered and fled, they hid in Wanxing Mountain, the old man waited here ****, if there is love, someone will save them for the old man, and you are the destined person for the old man to wait......"
"Thirty years later, they may have died."
The old man shook his head when he heard this: "Wanxing Mountain has some of the grain we have stored. ”
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, not to mention the fact that the people of the Fengyin Realm are good at farming.
Cheng Qinghe looked at the look of hope in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding and said, "I promise you, if they are still alive, I will take them away from the Fengyin Realm." ”
"Thank you." The old man was relieved: "This glass bottle has been passed down from generation to generation in the Fengyin Realm, and now it is given to Xiaoyou, and the people of the Fengyin Realm can be packed in the bottle and taken away." He raised his hand, and the glass cover disintegrated, then gathered in the palm of his hand, turning into a pomegranate-like flask.
The white hair under him was unrestrained and spread out like seawater, inexplicably beautiful.
Cheng Qinghe stepped forward to take it and retreated to the same place.
"Go, the fallen leaves return to their roots, and the old man should go......" He sat down again, and the color of his pupils quickly turned white, and all the white hairs withered in a matter of seconds.
The green creepers crawling above the house swarmed like leeches that smelled blood, and wrapped the old man around the Qinghe River in an instant.
Cheng Qinghe turned around, jumped down to the top of the building, and a little girl in ragged clothes walked out of the opposite alley.
She was covered in dirt all over her body, so thin that she didn't look like her, she looked about the same age as Li Nian, Cheng Qinghe looked at her for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to her: "Come with me, or stay here?" ”
The little girl paused, then ran towards her like crazy......
Li Nian stayed where he was, and it seemed that it was not long before he saw Cheng Qinghe leading a strange person to come.
The reason why it is strange is because the man hugged Cheng Qinghe's arm tightly with both hands, and his dirty feet hung again after a few steps, and the back of Cheng Qinghe's hand was bloody with his teeth.
But Cheng Qinghe seemed to be indifferent as if he didn't feel the pain at all.
"Who is she?" Li Nian asked, her eyes fixed on the back of her bitten hand.
"It should be from the Fengyin Realm, let's go, let's go save the rest of the people."
"What should Liu Laosi do?"
"He'll find it himself." Don't forget that he is a spirit being.
Wanxing Mountain is about half a day's journey from here, but a few hours have passed, and there is still no thing that has escaped from the three iron coffins.
Seeing that Li Nian was physically exhausted, the three of them found a dark place to stop and rest, this piece was completely uninhabited, and there were mountains, banana leaves, and bare boulders everywhere.
Cheng Qinghe stood on a high place and raised his hand to look at the road ahead, the road ahead led all the way to the mountain col, and gradually disappeared into a green shade, it seems that the direction is not wrong, and after walking for a few hours, you can reach Wanxing Mountain.
She took a step forward, slowly slid down the boulder, and moved her fingers helplessly and with difficulty: "I've been biting for so long, why don't you let go and drink saliva first?" ”
The little girl who had slid down the boulder looked up at her, blinking, those eyes especially large on her bony cheeks.
She let go of her mouth, but she still didn't let go of her arm, as if she was afraid that she would escape.
"Are you here to save us? Have you seen my grandfather? What did he say? ”
"I'm here to save you, as your grandfather wants."
She was silent, then sat down with a pop and began to cry.
The voice was so loud that it seemed to pierce the eardrums of others, Cheng Qinghe rubbed his temples, squatted down beside her, and covered her mouth: "If you cry like this, you will attract other things, and then we will all die." ”
The little girl choked.
"You want that?"
The little girl hurriedly shook her head, and Cheng Qinghe let go of her hand.
"You came out of Wanxing Mountain?"
"My name is Yaoyao." She nodded, and continued: "It's my grandfather with white hair and white beard, and it's been a long time since I came out to find him. ”
She had seen "living people" other than Cheng Qinghe before, but they were no longer individuals, she was very scared, they were all crazy!
It seems that there should still be people alive in Wanxing Mountain.
Li Nian walked over and took out some food, and when he was picked up by Cheng Qinghe, the storage bag that had been searched was returned.
Seeing that the little girl was holding a big bag of puffed food and eating like a wolf, Li Nian touched her head.
"It's not a good boy who bites, I'll cook for you in the future, okay?"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh." Yaoyao nodded repeatedly.
"Stay in the bag later, it's not safe outside." Cheng Qinghe looked at the two people who were happy and said. One is that the two of them are still children, if there is an emergency that is difficult to escape, and then there is an inconvenience in hurrying, if she is alone, the trip will be much faster.
She doesn't have many spirit stones on her, and if she wants to face those three monsters, I'm afraid she will choke enough. Now the best way is to sneak into the mountain, put everyone in a glass bottle, and then quickly leave this hellish place.
Li Nian frowned slightly when he heard this, but only for a moment, he smiled and said yes.
"Is this the way you escaped?" Cheng Qinghe asked.
Yaoyao knew that this was asking herself, so she nodded and said: "Keep walking here, go to the end, there is a small stone cave over there, climb into it, it is Wanxing Mountain, but this small hole is only known to me." ”
"Good."
After putting the two people into the Qiankun bag, Cheng Qinghefu began to hurry again, along the way she tried to avoid using her true qi, and used her own skills to run on the stone road, and it was inevitable that she would be a little physically exhausted after a few hours. At this time, she once again deeply felt that it was not easy to cultivate the Dao in this world, and she didn't even have spiritual energy, so how could she rely on Liao Liao's rare spirit stone?
The path gets narrower and narrower, and the wet plantain leaves hang down on both sides of the road, and the air is damp and sticky.
There was a murmur of water seeping from the front, wetting the soles of your shoes, and at the end was a small puddle, estimated to be only wrist deep, with a few red carp swimming in it.
Look again, the water flow is from a small stone cave, Cheng Qinghe secretly screamed bad, there are red carp in this wilderness, the object must be reversed, if it is not auspicious, there is a yin to evil things haunted!
She crouched down against the black hole, and she couldn't see the light at all, and there was a cool air coming from the pavement, but there was no movement other than that, and if she got into it from here, she didn't know if she would be able to reach the other end smoothly.
Fortunately, she was petite, and she stood up and looked around, and saw that there was no living creature around but her, so she leaned over and flicked a small flame and pushed it into the black hole.
The small flame was the light of the spell, shining with blue flames, flying in little by little.
She leaned over to take a look at the scene, and finally got inside.
It was bigger than she thought, and it was more than enough for her to get into it alone.
There was a wet water under her, and after being in the cold hole, she felt that her hands and feet were cold, and Dream Eater Aya wrapped her close to her body so that she would not get wet.
After walking about half a column of incense, the flame in front of her stood still, and she didn't think much of it, but continued to crawl forward, approaching little by little, until she saw a pair of feet that were close to decay.
The shoes with a few rotten holes were not visible, revealing the black soles of the feet, standing straight and standing on their toes, and there was darkness in front of them. Cheng Qinghe sighed in his heart, it seems that the road ahead is completely blocked by this corpse, how can this be good?
But just as she was thinking, the corpse suddenly moved, and a black, fleshless face poked out from under the corpse's armpit in a twisted arc.
Two sharp fangs were exposed outside his lips, he let out a low howl, and the extremely fishy breath rushed towards Cheng Qinghe.
Cheng Qinghe covered her nose, reflexively raised her head and banged, hitting the stone wall, obviously startled, she didn't expect this thing to be alive, and she didn't notice it at all. Then there is only one possibility, this thing, cultivation is above her.
Fortunately, this thing should also want to take this road into Wanxing Mountain, but I don't know what happened to cause it to be stuck here, it seems that this thing is what the old man said, crawling out of the iron coffin?
The thing became more and more impatient with the "food" coming behind it, and its gaze swept over the stone wall that was holding its shoulder, and it made a gurgling sound in its throat, and then shook its body and struggled violently.
For a while, Cheng Qinghe frowned and retreated, moving his body back little by little, but it was easy to come in and difficult to get out, not to mention that he couldn't see the road behind him.
The thing's head looked at her more and more longingly, and the curvature of the arm became more and more strange, as if it was about to fall straight down.
After a long time, Cheng Qinghe retreated and stepped on the shallow pool below the entrance of the cave, and the red carp in it was frightened and scurried with its tail.
She held on to the stone wall and took a deep breath, then condensed her true qi and slammed into the stone wall with one palm, and the top of the continuous stone wall quickly shattered and collapsed, until the hole was buried from the inside out.
At this point, no sound could be heard from inside, and she took a few steps back, and then looked up at the thousand-foot-high stone wall, and it seemed that this was the only way to go.
There is also a low mountain bag under Wanxing Mountain, which was originally a reservoir, and the ancestors of Fengyin Realm set up an enchantment on this halfway mountainside in order to keep the remnants of the aura in this territory, and because of the concealment, it has become a place for future generations to store grain.
All she had to do now was to go up to the top of the mountain, which, according to the girl, would take her direct refuge by crossing it.
……
The top of the mountain is like two worlds, the scorching sun above the head does not know when, it turned into a piece of blood light, and the entire top of the mountain is filled with a blood mist, Cheng Qinghe jumped down, with a bang, and fell on top of a large iron box, the box is very high, and there is a hole in it.
Just as she was looking down, she happened to meet two pairs of dark eyes.
Seeing her, the other party looked extremely shocked.
"Shh......h (To be continued.) )
