Chapter 18, The Shadow in the Mountains
Mo Feiming looked at the back of Jiuli Qiantaro leaving, he was stunned, he pondered, thinking about the meaning of what Jiuli Qiantaro said, could it be that Zuo Qingming really has something unspeakable, or some purpose......
But what is it that makes Zuo Qingming change so much from before, from a senior brother who can be relied on and close to him, and a senior brother who is like a brother, he has become like this, he easily draws his sword against him, and even does not hesitate to kill him, and even after he enters the underworld, he breaks the wall lamp in an attempt to trap them in the underworld.
He sighed, thinking of what Zuo Qingming said before, it was really true, "If you don't have enough strength and break your knees, no one will give you an explanation, if your strength is enough, you no longer need anyone's explanation." ”
Yes, it's useless for him to think about it now, and there is only one way to know why it's like this, and that is to make himself stronger, and then everything will be clear.
Early the next morning, all four of them left the house and stood at the gate of the small courtyard, and the four of them packed their bags and were ready to leave at any time.
When they first met, Jiuli Qiantaro and Mo Feiming looked at Chu Haoge, they were both stunned, and saw that Chu Haoge's face was blue and purple, and the circles under his eyes were blue, Jiuli Qiantaro knew without asking, this must have been a quarrel between the two yesterday, and Chu Haoge was beaten by Murong Xiaoyan.
So Jiuli Qiantaro didn't ask, pretending not to see it, but Mo Feiming felt a little strange, and asked very worriedly: "Brother Chu, what's wrong with your face?" ”
"Forehead......" Chu Haoge touched his face and gasped, thinking that Murong was really ruthless yesterday, really, as for it? I didn't see anything.
Secretly glanced at Murong Xiaoyan, Murong Xiaoyan's big eyes widened, so frightened that he shrunk his neck, quickly turned his head over, and said with a smile: "Brother Mo, don't worry, I'm just ...... I accidentally bumped it last night. ”
"Bang?" Mo Feiming looked at him with some suspicion for a while, can he still crash like this? It's not like that's what people hit with their heads against the wall.
"Alright, let's go." Jiu Li Qiantaro saw that Mo Feiming kept asking like this, and Chu Haoge, who asked, was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly cleared the siege.
Jiuli Qiantaro glanced at Chu Haoge, her face was really pitiful, and then she felt that Chu Haoge gave her another look, and her swollen cheeks, with that look, simply made Jiuli Qiantaro goosebumps all over her body.
She knew what Chu Haoge meant, Chu Haoge wanted him to use magic to heal him, although this injury could be cured by Jiuli Qiantaro by reaching out, but after all, it was Murong who beat him, and she didn't want to go up and meddle in the affairs of the two of them, and after glancing at Murong Xiaoyan, she pretended not to see Chu Haoge and walked towards the outside of the village.
As soon as the four of them took two steps, several people came in front of them, and it was the village chief and several villagers who came to see them off.
Outsiders haven't been to this small village with Xiong's for many years, and they have finally come once, and they are very hospitable.
Knowing that the four of them were going to Buzhou Mountain, the village chief kindly persuaded them not to go, probably if they didn't dislike it, they could stay in the village for a few days, but the four of them were in a hurry to go up the mountain, and Jiuli Qiantaro still politely declined.
The village chief said in an old language: "Girl, if you are not satisfied with you, we are about to leave this place." ”
"Leave?" Jiuli Qiantaro was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what to say in her heart, these descendants of the Xiong clan couldn't even say what they are saying now, how could they gain a foothold outside?
"Alas......" The village chief sighed and said, "This is also something that cannot be helped, our country of Luo was destroyed, and we were forced to move our clans, and there were thousands of people when we came here...... But so many years have passed. As he spoke, he compared with his hand the desolate landscape.
The village chief said that there are less than 100 people left, and even though the road is bumpy, if they stay here, they will have to wait for destruction.
Saying that, the surrounding villagers were in tears, yes, how strong were they originally? But now? The village chief said, "We are a clan that has been abandoned by the gods. ”
Jiuli Qianyu looked at them, she shook her head, and said, "Maybe it's because the Youxiong clan now has no clan witch, so it's difficult to communicate with the gods." "Even in her Jiuli clan, there are clan witches, but due to the reduction of the divine power of the gods now, they have not communicated with the gods for a long time.
The village chief nodded, and he said: "We know this, but this has been passed down, and the clan witch has long disappeared into history, and even the magic and some civilizations left behind have almost been lost." ”
Nowadays, they are no different from ordinary villagers, they don't know how to do magic, they don't have the protection of the gods, and even the places where they live are so bad.
Looking at these villagers, Jiuli Qiantaro felt a little unbearable, they were also ancient clans, even if they had hatred, but she still thought that if she could, she still wanted to help them, Jiuli Qiantaro said: "I heard that there is also a clan in the northwest, maybe you go there, they can help you." ”
"Girl, which clan are you talking about?" The village chief asked.
"Jiuli tribe." Jiuli Qiantaro said: "The people of the Jiuli tribe are kind, and they will definitely help you." ”
As soon as the word "Jiuli" of the Jiuli clan came out, the villagers suddenly became agitated, for the name of this clan, they are simply too familiar, thousands of years of money, that big war, the rout of the Jiuli clan, even the most respected patriarch of the clan, Chi You, was also killed, the hatred of the two clans can be said to be uncommon, they went to the Jiuli clan for help, how could the Jiuli clan help them?
For a while, all kinds of voices rang out, and some people even said that Jiuli Qiantaro was not well-intentioned, and some people even said that Jiuli Qiantaro was a spy.
The village chief waved his hand and told the villagers to stop talking, and after that, he said to Jiuli Qianyu: "The girl doesn't know, we are the descendants of the Youxiong clan, there was a war thousands of years ago, and we have a blood feud, they will definitely not help us." ”
Jiu Li Qianyu shook his head and said, "What kind of hatred can exist for thousands of years?" ”
When she said this, the villagers suddenly became silent, yes, generations of people have turned to dust, why is the hatred still there? No matter how big the hatred is, it will eventually be washed away by time, after all, people are looking forward.
"Thank you for the girl's kind words, I will definitely consider it carefully with the villagers." The village chief was silent for a long time, and said very gratefully.
So the four of them left the village with the descendants of the Xiong clan, and walked towards Buzhou Mountain, after the four of them left, the village chief organized a meeting, as for the result, only these villagers know.
The four of them rushed all the way to Buzhou Mountain, and entered the Buzhou Mountain, and the four of them felt an inexplicable coercion coming, not only that, it should be morning at this time, but the sky was dark, and on this Buzhou Mountain, it seemed that it was blocked by something with a huge hand.
Not only that, but what is even more strange is that according to what the Emperor River Divine Bird said, there should be an omniscient divine dragon here, but Chu Haoge can clearly feel that in addition to the inexplicable coercion here, there is also a more intense aura, and that aura is also very familiar to them, it is the aura of resentment.
As soon as the four of them entered this Buzhou Mountain, Chu Haoge felt that the Starlight Sword behind him was constantly vibrating, as if he was very excited.
Chu Haoge stretched out his hand and took off the Starlight Sword on his back, and put it in the air, Chu Haoge found that the Starlight Sword was frantically devouring the resentful qi around it, and the speed formed a small whirlpool.
He didn't find it strange that he had already seen such a situation when he was in the cemetery outside Gangneung City.
After a while, this starlight sword slowed down the speed of absorbing resentful qi, and slowly stopped, probably after eating too much to digest for a while, and the resentful qi in the air was much thinner.
Chu Haoge put it into the sword box, looked at the three people around him, and said, "Can we go up the mountain?" ”
"Hmm." The three of them nodded, and Mo Feiming said, "Wait a minute, Brother Chu, the formation here has disappeared." ”
"The formation is gone?" Chu Hao was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Is it possible to fly with the sword?" ”
Mo Feiming nodded and said, "Indeed, the force that interfered with the flight before was gone. ”
Chu Haoge was overjoyed, in this way, they flew directly to the top of the mountain, wouldn't it save a lot of time?
Chu Haoge and Mo Feiming were about to use the sword technique to fly into the air to see the situation first, but they were stopped by Jiuli Qiantaro on the side.
Jiu Li Qianyu pointed to the spars of various colors on the ground and said, "Young Master Chu, Young Master Mo, wait a minute, there may be something strange in this." ”
The two of them also saw these spars of various colors, which were really good-looking, but Jiuli Qiantaro not only thought that these stones were beautiful, she stretched out her hand and condensed a water method and shot it into the air.
"Whoosh." The water balloon crossed an arc in the air, and before it could fly to the highest point, it only heard a few sounds: "bang bang bang", which came from the ground.
Everyone followed the reputation, and the thing that made the sound was not a side object, it was the various colored spars that they had seen before, and these spars suddenly burst out with a corresponding color of light, and the "whoosh" shattered the water ball formed by the Jiuli Qiantaro spell just now, turning it into water droplets and falling away.
Before the falling droplets fell to the ground, the second round of attacks came, and a few more rays of light flashed, and the droplets were scattered.
"Gollum." Chu Haoge was stunned, swallowed and foamed, this is simply terrifying, thanks to Jiuli Qiantaro who found out immediately, otherwise wouldn't they be beaten into a sieve? "What is this?"
The reason why Jiuli Qiantaro was able to discover it was because he felt that the spiritual power in it was a little strange, like a bow and arrow ready to attack.
Mo Feiming was also stunned, and said, "I think, it should be another formation." ”
Since then, the four of them no longer dare to fly from the sky, so they have to honestly climb the mountain, and no one knows how powerful this light is.
Mo Feiming looked at this formation, as if it was a defensive formation, which was arranged to prevent outsiders from entering it, probably to prevent someone in the air from flying in.
As for the mountain road, as soon as everyone looks at it, it is simply a huge labyrinth, up or down, thousands of winding and rugged, just looking at it makes me feel dizzy.
"Then we'll have to walk up the hill?" Murong Xiaoyan asked.
The other three all nodded, yes, as long as they didn't want to be beaten into a sieve, they couldn't fly in the air.
This formation should not have been formed naturally, probably someone did it on purpose.
The four of them glanced at each other helplessly, at this time, Chu Haoge's face was still blue and purple, which made everyone look very uncomfortable, Murong Xiaoyan gave Jiuli Qiantaro a look, Jiuli Qiantaro nodded helplessly, she didn't like to look at Chu Haoge's pig-like appearance, and waved her hand to use a healing spell to heal the injury on Chu Haoge's face.
"Jiuli girl, thank you." Chu Haoge was very moved, or Jiu Li Qiantaro was empathetic, which was like Murong, and he would leave it alone after beating him.
Jiu Li Qianyu shook his head and said, "Don't thank me. As she spoke, she also glanced at Murong Xiaoyan on the side and said, "It's just that when you hit the wall in the future, you can't cure it if it's really disfigured." ”
As soon as she said this, Murong Xiaoyan and Chu Haoge's faces turned crimson, and they were embarrassed, but this can be regarded as Chu Haoge's own doing, who made him lustful...... Of course, it's nothing to have a lustful heart, but he died by himself.
Chu Haoge also looked back at Murong Xiaoyan, Murong glared at him fiercely, and said, "What about you, what do you think I'm doing?" I hit you with it? ”
"No, no." Chu Haoge hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll ...... myself I was careless myself. ”
"Humph......"
After that, the four of them chatted while looking for a way up the mountain in this labyrinth, although the sky on the mountain was dark, but after walking for so long they did not encounter any danger, the four of them deliberately avoided the various colored stones on the road, so as not to be hurt by it.
It's daytime, and although the sky here is indistinguishable, what ghosts can still appear in broad daylight?
As soon as everyone thought like this, they felt as if something flashed behind them, it was like a black shadow, everyone felt it, and the first action was to touch their weapons, and Chu Haoge shrank his neck, which startled him this time, and hurriedly went to get his star sword.
The four of them looked back, and there was really a ghost not far away, it was a pitch-black thing, like a person's shadow in the sun, its feet were connected to the ground, its dark face was very vicious, and it bared its teeth and let out a roar that was not like a human being.
"What is this?" Chu Haoge was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What the hell?" ”
"It's the Shadow Ghost, a branch of the Shadow Spirit, a branch of the Shadow Spirit, which only appears at night and feeds on human souls." Mo Feiming said.
As the chief disciple of the Qingyun Sect, Mo Feiming is also a regular thing to go down the mountain to eliminate demons, and he has also heard of this thing, and even fought against it, but the shadow ghost he fought before was obviously not as strong as this one.
"Night?" Chu Haoge was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed: "But it's daylight now......" Looking at the sky here, ...... outside, it was daylight, but near Buzhou Mountain, it was really dark here......
So Chu Haoge was ready to draw out the Starlight Sword to fight.
