Episode 292: The End of the Road

A low roar came from all directions, far away on the plain two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, more and more strange beasts from southern Xinjiang appeared and gathered, and some monsters continued to roar to the sky. There were also six or seven demon beasts with huge bodies in the herd, far surpassing the ordinary beasts around them, and they were standing in the middle of the herd and turned their heads and roared, and the surrounding beast demons seemed to be particularly afraid of them.

The clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and gradually began to flash in the clouds at the edge of the sky, and after a while, there was finally a rumbling thunder.

The world of black oppression, the indescribable vicissitudes of life.

The lightning flashed in the sky, reflecting a vigorous shadow, the huge bird demon who had just returned from the head of Heyang City fell from the sky, with the afterglow of the lightning, the beast demons all saw that the big bird's claws were grasping two people, and for a while, hundreds of beast demons near and far roared loudly, the momentum was so strong, it was terrifying.

The huge wings fluttered in the wind and rain, the big bird hovered over the beast group for a while, and suddenly the claws were loosened, and the two figures fell down like stones, but they saw that although the figures were rolling in the air, they did not struggle like dancing and dancing, but they were very stiff, thinking that most of them were in the middle of the road, these two poor people could not withstand the strength of the giant birds and beasts, and they were born and died under these two giant claws.

The roar of the beast demon on the ground instantly rose, the sound of gnashing teeth came and went, and in a moment, at least dozens of fierce beast bodies jumped up and pounced, and in the desolate rain, only a few points of blood were faintly visible, and finally disappeared again.

The giant bird hovering in the sky screamed twice, flew again for a moment, and then, as if it had discovered something, its wings retracted, and it fell from the sky, falling into the depths of the dense herd. Its huge body was about to hit the ground. Suddenly, the wide wings of the ground spread out again, and there was a "whoosh" sound, and the powerful wind blew several fierce beasts near him to the ground, and they screamed "whin".

A strong wind blew, and the giant bird flew over the herd, and along the way, countless beasts and demons bowed their heads in awe. Occasionally, when they encountered several huge demon beasts that were equally powerful, they seemed to stare at each other without showing weakness. The giant bird flew all the way, and its body also went up and down, or swept over the head of the beast demon, or flew over the branches of trees, and sometimes when it encountered a large and terrifying monster like a colossus, it also passed directly under the colossus monster.

The wind and rain are shaking, and the sky is full of thunder and lightning. The giant bird's figure in the wind and rain fluttered like duckweed, and finally, it let out another scream and fell from mid-air.

It was the deepest part of the beast demon group, among the strange beasts under the black pressure, under the lightning light of the sky, a tarpaulin umbrella was suddenly revealed, and a few peach blossoms were painted on the surface of the cyan umbrella. Gently fluttering in the wind and rain.

The giant bird landed next to this umbrella, and only then could it be seen clearly. It turned out that the umbrella had a wooden rod tied to the handle, lengthened and inserted between a rock, and under the umbrella sat a young man dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, holding a flask and a glass in his hand, pouring himself a drink. Beside the young man. The beast gluttony, which looked a little sleepy, was lying on the rock, and at this moment he saw the giant bird falling, and the glutton's eyes only opened slightly, looked at it, and closed it again.

The surrounding beasts let out a restless roar. The giant bird fell to the ground, croaked twice in its mouth, waved its huge wings, and fanned out more than a dozen beast demons in the original place, and roared and screamed one after another, but no beast demon dared to come up and challenge. The giant bird glanced sideways to the left and right, looking arrogant, as if it was disdainful of these beasts, and then turned its head to face the young man, and for a moment, it seemed to be particularly respectful.

"Quack, quack" to the young man under the umbrella, the giant bird croaked for a while, the young man seemed to understand the bird's language, and nodded slowly. The giant bird called a few more times, then stood in place, and after a moment stretched out its beak to clean the feathers on its body, the rain had already drenched its whole body, and after cleaning it up a few times, it quickly gave up its efforts, looked up at the night sky, and slowly shrank its head into its wings to avoid the wind and rain.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, and the boy drank one cup after another, never pause, only occasionally wandering, staring into the distance for a moment, and then silently bowing his head and drinking again. It's just that no matter how much liquor he drank, there was never the slightest hint of alcohol on his face.

Finally, the jug of wine was drunk, and it slipped gently from his hands in the wind and rain, and landed on the mud-covered ground. The young man slowly stood up, and the beasts and demons around him shook for a while, revealing an extremely frightened look. It's just that in the eyes of the young man, these countless beasts seemed to be nothing, and he didn't pay the slightest attention to them. In his eyes, he was only silently looking at the sky at the moment, with heavy black clouds and wind and rain.

Gluttony let out a low cry and stood up beside him.

The young man was silent, turned around and patted the glutton's head gently, and said for a long time: "Do you also feel lonely, glutton?" ”

Gluttony roared, but after all, no one knew what it meant, the young man looked up at the sky, for a long time, without saying a word, his eyes turned again, looking at Qingyun Mountain, there, there was the great enemy he had been looking forward to for a long time, the Three Righteous Paths, the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and a supreme powerhouse who could punch through the void!

It doesn't matter if it's destruction or death, he doesn't care if he wins or loses, all he asks for is an ending, an ending that everyone in the world remembers him, so that she can remember herself regardless of the cycle of life and death, right?

Qingyun Mountain, just when the three righteous sects in Qianshan were actively organizing people to fight against the attacking demon beast army, Qingyun Houshan was quiet, especially near the Ancestral Hall of the Patriarch on the edge of the forbidden land, especially near the Ancestral Hall of the Patriarch on the edge of the forbidden land, there were very few Qingyun disciples guarding, as if Qingyunmen was not worried about these two places at all.

At this moment, the gloomy night has just passed, and the sky is at the beginning of dawn, and on the towering Tongtian Peak, between the paths leading to the ancestral hall and the forbidden land of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, there is a faint mist, gently drifting with the mountain wind, lingering among the pine and cypress treetops and branches on both sides of the road.

At this moment, even the sound of birdsong could not be heard, and the damp water vapor condensed into crystal dewdrops, which slowly flowed down the edge of the emerald green leaves, quietly dripping.

There is no trace of anyone!

Suddenly, a figure appeared on this path, it was the ghost.

His face was indifferent. There was no fear or worry in the enemy's territory, nor the nervousness of approaching the forbidden land, he just walked slowly forward with an expressionless face.

This is a road that he has also walked, ten years ago

Ten years later, it seems that the scenery is still the same. Nothing had changed, the pines and cypresses were evergreen, the vegetation was flourishing, and even the subsoil where he stepped seemed to be as moist and soft as it had been then.

It's just that it's him who has changed.

The mountain wind blew through the branches of the woods and blew through the hem of his clothes, ruffling his hair, and the little gray lying on his shoulders seemed to be sleepy-eyed, and his eyes were pulled. The tail is wrapped around the ghostly arm. And the ghostly eyes are strangely bright.

The path zigzagged towards the mountains, the mist spreading gently in front of him and closing quietly behind him, and he walked in this confusion, all the way forward, without looking backwards.

"Rustle, rustle"

A thin voice came from deep in the woods. It seems that someone is getting up early to clean something, gently melodious. The ghost stood silently and listened, and was a little distracted, as if the years were all in this thin "rustling" sound, quietly echoing ripples, and passed quietly.

He suddenly seemed to wake up from a dream. Turning back suddenly, the silent atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant, and even the slight rustling sound in the distance seemed to pause and be silent.

Behind him. At some point, there stood a man dressed in black, masked in black veil - Mr. Ghost.

Ghost Li's pupils contracted slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "You are here too." ”

Mr. Ghost said quietly, "Yes." ”

The ghost said, "What are you here for?" ”

Mr. Ghost shook his head and said, "I'm here to help you." ”

Ghost Li sneered and said, "What did you say?" ”

Mr. Ghost said lightly: "You don't have to be suspicious, there are some things you don't know, I came here to tell you." There is no mechanism outside the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, but there is a superior magic array inside, which is the spirit of guarding the ancient sword and killing immortals, and its source is no different from the sword formation of the immortals. If an outsider wants to break in and touch the magic circle, it will be like alarming the Zhuxian Sword Array, and the consequence is just death and no life, if you are conceited and can defeat the ancient sword Zhuxian, I have nothing to say. ”

The ghost's pupils contracted, and in the distant mist, the faint mist seemed to vibrate slightly.

Mr. Ghost glanced at Ghost Li and said, "Originally, it was extremely difficult for people in our Demon Sect to enter this Phantom Moon Cave Mansion, but you are an exception, looking at the world, except for the head elders in the Qingyun Sect, only you can enter." ”

Ghost Li was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "What do you mean?" ”

Mr. Ghost said: "This magic circle must be based on the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Shangqing Realm that has been passed down from generation to generation in Qingyunmen, and master the magic circle pivot before you can enter, and after entering, the illusions are like rain, whether you can strengthen your mind or not, it depends on your own." ”

Ghost Li looked at this person's black figure deeply, was silent for a long time, and said, "Why do you want to tell me so much? ”

Mr. Ghost smiled slightly, his black figure looked rootless in the mist, almost like a ghost, and said lightly: "You don't have to care so much, anyway, I'll do it all, believe it or not." ”

The two looked at each other like this, the strange light flashed in the ghost's eyes, but Mr. Ghost did not retreat, and looked directly at him.

After a while, the ghost didn't say a word, suddenly turned around, and walked towards the deep path, Mr. Ghost was behind him, watching him.

But at this time, suddenly, an old voice came out from the path in the direction of the ancestral hall, from the white mist gently drifting in that direction, with indescribable vicissitudes of life, an old man's voice said: "Two, where are you going?" ”

Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost were shocked, and when they looked back, they saw that the mist on the path had drifted away, and a rickety figure slowly walked out. He bent down slightly, as if he had been overwhelmed by the years, and the wrinkles like knives were across his face, as if telling the passage of time. Even the broom in his hand now seemed to be as dilapidated as its master.

It's just that the old man walked slowly, walking six feet in front of Ghost Li and Mr. Ghost, facing these two such figures, this slightly tired old man, when he slowly raised his head, he suddenly had a pair of clear and compelling sharp eyes, staring at the front!

"It's cold in the early morning, the tired birds haven't gotten up, the two of you are guests from afar, it just so happens that I have a distinguished guest here, why don't you come over and drink a bowl of hot tea together?"

Ghost Li was silent, and his eyes looked at the old man for a moment. Mr. Ghost stood six feet away from him, and with the way of the two of them, under the combination, he might not be afraid of anyone in the world, but between the two of them, it was obvious that neither of them trusted the other.

But at this moment, Mr. Ghost's eyes hidden behind the black veil have been staring at the sweeping old man, his eyes are bright, and he seems to have another strange feeling.

The old man sensed something, turned around tremblingly, looked at Mr. Ghost, and said, "This master, you have been staring at the old man, don't you have something to say?" “

Mr. Ghost suddenly laughed and said, "You are just an old man guarding the ancestral hall of the ancestor of Qingyun Mountain, why bother with meddlers, this young man is now" He pointed at the ghost and said: "He has heard the reputation of the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion of Qingyun Mountain for a long time, and he wants to go in and see it, I don't know if the old man will let him go?" ”

Ghost Li stood in the distance, suddenly snorted coldly, and said: "Before going up the mountain, you and I have already discussed, let me enter the Phantom Moon Cave Mansion to attract the attention of Qingyunmen, you take the opportunity to sneak into the ancestral hall of the ancestor of Qingyun Mountain, destroy all the spiritual positions of the ancestors of Qingyunmen, and give Qingyunmen a good look, why did you get here, don't you go in?" ”

Mr. Ghost was stunned and looked at Ghost Li, only to see that Ghost Li's face was solemn, and his expression was serious and serious, it was difficult to believe that there was no such thing. Mr. Ghost looked at him for a long time, seemed to smile bitterly, and shook his head slightly.

The old man looked at Ghost Li, and then at Mr. Ghost, his face gradually turned cold, and the sharp light in his eyes gradually brightened, and he said lightly: "It seems that no matter what, the two of you have bad intentions towards Qingyun." It's just that the green clouds are heavy, and the old decay has been guarded for many years, and the two of them want to wreak havoc here, so they will step over the old decay body first. ”

He said so indifferently, facing the two mysterious and unfamiliar figures in front of him, and slowly straightened up.

In the early morning, the crisp sound of birdsong in the distance between the mountains and dense forests suddenly seemed to stop and disappeared, and only the mist of the mountains still drifted around them.

Mr. Ghost suddenly said, 'Is your left hand okay?' ’

Ghost Li and the old man were stunned at the same time, Ghost Li didn't understand why Mr. Ghost suddenly came up with this inexplicable sentence, but the old man's body shook obviously, and he stared at Mr. Ghost with a pair of eyes, and he couldn't leave.

In the early morning, in the mist, the old man stared for a long time, and suddenly let out a long breath, the stunned expression on his face gradually disappeared, and he said slowly: "It's you?!" ”

Mr. Ghost smiled and said, "It's me." He paused for a moment, looked at the old man's face, and even his voice suddenly brought a little emotion, and said, "Over the years, why have you aged so much?" Look at you like this, who still knows that you are the Qingyunmen Wan Jianyi who was famous all over the world back then! (To be continued.) )
