Chapter 8 Demon Suppression Pagoda
Zi Jue hugged her master's sword all day and cried with a sad face, what kind of place is the Demon Suppression Tower, and on the way back to the dormitory, she asked many senior brothers and sisters.
As soon as they heard the words of the Demon Suppression Tower, the senior brothers were so frightened that they described it to her hesitantly, it was a particularly scary place, and the people who were assigned to guard there were generally disciples with advanced mana except for making big mistakes.
In particular, very few of the disciples who went to the third layer to guard came out alive, so no disciples were willing to go in now.
Chu Qinglin looked very depressed when she looked at Zi Jue holding her master's sword tea all night and didn't want to eat, and comforted: "Oh, okay, Zi Jue don't think about it so much." Your master won't be able to bear to let you die, since the matter has come to this, you can only face it calmly. ”
After speaking, she took out a few yellow runes from her sleeves and gave them to Zi Jue, and said: "This is a talisman that I bought at a high price in order to protect my body, and it is very useful, and I don't dare to approach you with it, and my master taught me a few swordsmanship techniques to subdue demons today, go, I will teach you to practice when you go to the courtyard, maybe you can still use it then." ”
After speaking, she picked up the wooden sword and pulled Zi Jue to the courtyard.
Chu Qinglin held the wooden sword and gestured for a long time, but Zi Jue still looked absent-minded and had no master of the six gods.
This made Chu Qinglin feel a headache, alas, Zi Jue, this master is really ruthless, no matter how much she is punished, she will not be punished in the Demon Suppression Tower, and it is also a pity for Zi Jue, this girl.
"Zi Jue, you have to protect yourself well after you go in, and you should be careful when you have to. If not, let's leave Maoshan, it's a big deal not to be his disciple of Maoshan, the world is so big, it's not just that he Maoshan can collect demons, we can also go to Shushan, Taihang Mountain, Bishan and other places to learn art. If you want to open up a little bit of everything, this trip may not be more auspicious, and your master may let you go to exercise you well. ”
"Sister Lin, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back after I go, I'm afraid that I'll never see Sister Lin again, and they all say that it's very terrifying, and there are disciples who have suffered misfortunes there before. ”
Zi Jue lowered her head sadly and said in a slur manner.
Chu Qinglin stretched out her hand and hugged her, touched her head, and said, "Stupid Zijue, what are you talking about!" Sister won't let you take the risk alone, you'll be fine, otherwise I'll ask Master tomorrow to let me go with me. ”
Zi Jue pushed her away, frowning: "It's too dangerous, don't, don't want Sister Lin to follow me there." I'll just go by myself, Sister Lin, don't worry, I'll be fine, I'm already mentally prepared. ”
"Zi Jue, always remember Sister Lin's words, think about everything, since we are already demon killers, it will be a matter of time before we encounter demons and monsters in the future, and we can't be afraid to retreat, because these are inevitable things, just think of yourself as a challenge!"
"Well, Zi Jue must remember Sister Lin's words."
The night was sultry, and the two of them climbed onto the roof and sat down, talking and laughing in the moonlight and chatting all night.
Following.
Early in the morning, Zi Jue opened her eyes in a daze, and when she woke up, she only saw Chu Qinglin's busy figure, and she was packing up for her.
I also went to the kitchen early in the morning to steal a lot of buns for her, and also left some of the things I brought with me to ward off evil spirits.
After washing, the streamer faction called Gu Xiyi to personally lead Zi Jue to the Demon Suppression Tower, she carried a large bag and a small bag of salutes and carried the sword left by the master to leave the residence step by step, and followed Gu Xiyi to the Demon Suppression Tower.
Standing outside the tower, looking up, this one is really high, gloomy, and there are black clouds lingering everywhere.
From outside the door, you can still hear the painful screams of the monsters in the tower, which resounded through the sky like ghost screams, and it was deafening.
As soon as I went in and walked to the door, there was a cold air, the cold wind hit the face, like a sharp knife made of ice slag cutting the flesh on the face, the knife was so painful, there was very little air inside, making people feel like they were about to breathe and suffocate.
The first layer she entered first, she remembered that the master said that the first layer was for the little demons, and it was dark and cold inside.
Except for the two guards of the disciples, when they looked up into the sky, they were all flying black shadows, flashing by, with that terrifying scream and scream, which was terrifying.
The second layer is even more eerie and terrifying, full of ghosts and ghosts.
When you open the door, you can smell a strong, pungent and disgusting stench that comes from the decomposing corpse.
Zi Jue tightly covered his nose with his hands and followed the disciple who led the way, and as he walked, he suddenly felt something pinching his legs tightly, unable to move, and many extremely terrifying and miserable voices converged into one sentence and said hoarsely: "Let us out, let us go out......"
Zi Jue couldn't take a step anymore, and when she looked down, she was so frightened that her face turned blue, "Ah! ”
With a shout, her foot was held tightly by a red hand covered with sticky blood, it was a mutilated hand, and she stomped her foot to shake off the bloody hand, but she couldn't break free.
When Senior Brother Gu Xiyi, who led the way, saw it, he immediately stepped forward and pulled out the sword on his back and slashed at the bloody hand.
With a bang, the hand was slashed by the sword, and it instantly turned into black ashes and dissipated into the air.
"Ahh
After Zi Jue saw something, he exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Xiyi, who was walking in front of her, turned his head to look at her and asked.
Zi Jue trembled in fright and pointed to a pond like Jokhang Pond, in which pools of blood continued to gush out of the water.
In the blink of an eye, the blood gradually receded, and countless rotten corpses immediately appeared in the pond, and the flesh and blood were blurred, making people feel the urge to vomit when they saw it.
The carrion was crawling with white and fat corpse-devouring maggots, and thousands of maggots wriggled like ants in the foul-smelling flesh of the corpses, and after a wild roll, those carrion corpses instantly turned into white bones.
In the blink of an eye, a lot of small black and gray snakes like caterpillars immediately drilled out of the white bones, the small snakes wrapped around those skeletons and slowly devoured the white bones little by little, and after a while, the small snakes quickly grew into giant pythons, countless giant pythons were entangled with each other and contracted the snake body to wriggle in the pool, and suddenly bowed and jumped, the snake's head stretched out of the pool, opening its bloody mouth, which really scared Zi Jue half to death.
"Don't look at that, close your eyes at once! Ghosts are unpredictable, so what you see is just a few tricks. ”
Gu Xiyi said.
"Oh......"
Zi Jue gasped and covered her eyes with her hands, she was really scared to death just now, she had never seen such a terrifying picture since she was a child.
"Here, you can turn around here and go straight to the third floor."
Senior Brother Gu Xiyi took her to a quieter room, pointed to a corner of the room and instructed: "Remember, demons and monsters are good at deceiving people's hearts, if you see anything after entering, don't be lost by superficial phenomena, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to get out again." ”
With that, he left.
Zi Jue nodded, looking around, there were neither demons nor ghosts here.
She raised her eyes and poked in the direction Gu Xiyi had pointed earlier, which was the corner where it was connected to this room, and she should have bypassed it to reach the third floor.
Zi Jue stood at the corner and struggled for a long time, cowering and not daring to go in.
Just now I only reached the second floor, I was already scared enough, I really don't know what will happen when I enter the third layer.
Her heart kept beating the drum, and she was very nervous.
Courageously deciding to go in and take a look, she closed her eyes and walked step by step around the corner, strangely there was neither the ghost scream of the first layer nor the smell of corpses on the second floor.
It was also quiet, with a gust of wind blowing from time to time, and a strange fragrance lingering around the wings of the nose.
The overall feeling was that the third floor felt safer than the first two, so she slowly opened her eyes.
"Wow!"
After seeing the scene in front of her, Zi Jue couldn't help but sigh, the scene in front of her was so beautiful!
Just like in a dream, what was in front of me was not a bloody scene, but on a quiet night, with sparse stars, a little moon branches, and sparkling fireflies flying in the dark sky.
The evening breeze flows through the hair little by little, pouring into my heart, what a pleasant picture!
"Jue'er, come here, my mother has been waiting for you for a long time, come here, my mother misses Jue'er so much, my Jue'er ......"
This crisp and familiar sound came from within, gradually approaching.
"Mother's ......"
Zi Jue was stunned, this person who called herself was the mother who loved her the most, she called: "Mother, where are you?" Mother's ......"
"Jue'er, my mother is here, come in and let my mother take a look at you."
The mother's gentle voice sounded in her ears again, which suddenly made her heart warm and sour.
"Mother?"
Zi Jue called softly, and her voice revealed a lot of uncertainty, as if she was afraid of something and was struggling with something.
She lowered her head, this voice was really her mother's, so gentle back then, but her mother had already passed away when she was ten years old.
No, this must not be my mother!
By the way, she remembered what Senior Brother Gu Xiyi had said just now.
Demons and monsters are good at confusing people's minds, yes, they should not believe in this, so as not to fall into the way of this ghost.
Seeing that Zi Jue hadn't walked in for a long time, the voice sounded again, "My Jue'er, my mother really misses you so much, you come in and let my mother take a good look." Jue'er, they all dislike you and don't want you, only your mother really loves you. Jue'er come in, come in and accompany her mother. ”
"You're not my mother! The demon Hugh has to use my mother's voice to bewitch me, I won't believe you demons! ”
Zi Jue held his master's sword tightly and shouted inside.
"Jue'er, I'm really a mother! I miss you so much here, Jue'er, don't you remember your mother's kiss? ”
The voice was getting closer and closer, still so gentle and warm, and as the voice approached, a face gradually approached.
Zi Jue couldn't help but glance inside, that face was her mother's, her mother's smile, the wrinkles on her face were squeezed to the corners of her eyes, is this really her mother's mother who gets along day and night?
The mother approached her and stood in front of her, stretched out her hands and handed them to her, and said with a smile: "Come, Jue'er stretches out her finger to the mother, and the mother will take you to a good place." ”
Zi Jue looked at her mother in front of her silently, this is what her mother is like, she used to always tell herself to give her hand and then took her to play where she had never been, that time was really beautiful, like a dream, "Mother, is it really you?" ”
She was about to pass her finger over when she suddenly stopped in mid-air.
She remembered her senior brother's words again, demons and monsters are unpredictable and cannot be blinded, so she quickly took her hand back and said very firmly: "You are a monster!" It's not my mother! I don't believe you! ”
"Hahahaha, little doll, you're still a little capable! The Maoshan disciples who entered here were all fascinated by the illusion of this Demon Venerable, black and white, and then forever indulged in their own best dreams until they died in their dreams. But you weren't fooled by the illusion of this Demon Venerable. Hahaha interesting, this little doll, interesting! ”
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed in the sky, the voice was thick, and the aftermath was lingering, and it was clear that many people were saying a word.
"What do you want, demon?"
Zi Jue pretended to be calm and said, in fact, her heart was already fluttering and jumping up and down like a wave drum, and she almost didn't jump out.
"Little doll, since this Demon Venerable couldn't kill you, why don't we make a deal?"
The demonic voice echoed through the air.
