Episode 291: Dead End

Viper Valley, the place where the demon cult gathers, the huge valley, the endless forest, Xiao Lan and Jin Zhu'er walked in the Viper Valley, but there was only a dead silence around, not to mention seeing animals, even the usual birdsong was not heard. The area around this valley seems to have been transformed into a lifeless ghost.

The smell of beasts and monsters in the air was as strong as that, but as the two of them went deeper, their brows became more and more wrinkled, and at this moment, with another breath blowing in the valley, the terrible smell that almost made people want to vomit became stronger and stronger.

The mountain road twisted and turned, and the two of them were engrossed in their surroundings, moving forward slowly. There was a col around the corner ahead, and the smell in the air was unbearable. Suddenly, Jin Bei'er, who was walking behind, rushed to the side of the road and vomited desperately.

Xiao Lan didn't open his mouth to laugh, even he felt a little unbearable, although this valley had not yet revealed its true face, it seemed to be more terrifying than most places in this world. Jin Zhu'er gasped and stopped, her face pale, and she walked back to Xiao Lan's side, losing her original charm for the first time, and actually whispered: "I'm sorry, I, I'm really..."

Xiao Lan smiled indifferently: "You are already very good, no one can stand this smell, you don't have to care, if you can't do it, why don't you go to the outside of the valley and wait for me first." ”

Jin Bei'er hesitated for a moment, but shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Lan nodded, with a look of comfort in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Be careful yourself, don't hold on." ”

Jin Bei'er nodded in agreement, and Xiao Lan said, "Okay, let's continue walking." I don't know what monsters are in danger ahead. Be careful yourself. ”

The two walked forward again, Xiao Lan was still walking in front, seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the corner of the mountain col, the air was already stenching and difficult to breathe, making him frown and grit his teeth. An arrow stepped over, rounded the corner of the col, and saw the scene in the valley.

His whole body instantly stiffened.

The golden bottle behind him immediately noticed Xiao Lan's strange appearance, and couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly followed him through the corner of the mountain col and saw the scene in the Valley of the Viper.

Then, too, she froze.

That is the legendary tragic Shura Hell, such a terrifying scene, impressively appeared under the clear blue sky and white sun. Countless bones fell inside and outside the house in the Valley of the Viper. There are people, there are also all kinds of beasts and monsters, some are complete, but more are miserable limbs and broken arms, so fragmented that they can't recognize the bones, densely packed all over the ground, and there are almost no gaps in sight.

As the two of them walked inside, the horrific sight was everywhere. And the deeper you go into the valley, the more tragic the scene becomes. The battle here can be seen to be extremely tragic without imagination, the bones of countless people and the corpses of monsters and beasts are entangled, and the ground under his feet has completely turned a deep black, which is the color soaked in blood.

I walked into the house, inside and outside every room, at the entrance of the important passageway. The remnants of the fierce fighting can be seen, and in some places even the bones are piled high, apparently to fight for this small entrance, the two sides go forward and fight desperately, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and fighting endlessly.

In the courtyard. Everyone began to see the corpses of several huge demon beasts, some of which were even taller than the entire hall and house, but at this moment, the once fierce demon beasts were just lying quietly in this hell-like place on earth, waiting to rot.

The stench of corpses in the air has reached a terrifying level, but Jin Zhu'er is a little better than just now, because the tragic situation in front of her has made her indifferent to these stenches, but her face is ugly and the four of them are the same.

The two of them continued to walk towards the depths of the mansion, more bones appeared in front of them, and now no one knew how many Demon Sect disciples and beast monsters had died in this valley, they almost subconsciously walked inside, walked, walked, after crossing countless sea of corpses and bones and blood, they came to a mourning hall.

The reason why it can be seen that it is a mourning hall is because they saw a coffin in this room, and the inside and outside of this room seemed to be the place where the struggle was most intense, and it would not be too much to describe it as a mountain of bones. It was here that the two found many familiar corpses in the Demon Sect: Hundred Poisons, Vampire Old Demon, Duanmu Old Ancestor...

These demon cult murderers who used to dominate the storm and call for wind and rain are all lying in this place at this moment, and many of them still have a look of fear on their faces.

Anyone can imagine, but no one wants to imagine what it was like before they died!

Immediately, the two of them successively discovered more famous figures of the Demon Sect here, including the three major disciples of the Poison God and many important figures in the Hehuan Sect, but on the side of the Ghost King Sect, although the disciples wearing the costumes of the Ghost King Sect died a lot, but the bones of the famous characters were rarely found.

"It seems that the battle between the beast god and your demon sect is very fierce, many people have died here, and the important figures of your demon sect are here, and the Ten Thousand Poison Gate seems to be all dead." Xiao Lan couldn't help but take a deep breath, it seems that this beast god is much more terrifying than he imagined!

He was talking to himself, but Jin Bei'er's body was shocked, and he was about to faint, and he lost his voice: "Madam, Madame is also here, and she has not escaped this catastrophe...... "Puff" fell to his knees on the ground.

Xiao Lan naturally didn't care about Mrs. Sanmiao, but the legendary boss of the Hehuan faction had to take a look, only to see a middle-aged lady in red clothes lying in a secluded place outside the mourning hall, if it weren't for her miserable death, you could still find that his charming charm was not much worse than the golden bottle, and even the number one person of the Hehuan faction was not spared, and the means of the beast god can be imagined.

Xiao Lan sighed, and turned his eyes to look, but saw that Jin Zhu'er's face was bleak, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and even his body shook a few times involuntarily.

After a long time, she slowly raised her head and looked up at the sky, and even the clouds above the valley looked blood-red in the boundless blue sky.

Jin Bottle's lips moved, as if she wanted to shout something, but. After all, nothing came out!

"Let's go, let's get out of here." Watching this scene quietly, for a long time, Xiao Lan seemed to see the other side of the golden bottle, and also seemed to understand something, and was stunned for a while. In the end, I couldn't help but sigh for a long time, the fairy way, the Buddha way, the demon road, the demon road, the god way, the humanitarian way, the ghost road, and the Asura path There are thousands of roads in the world, leading to the other side of eternity, always full of hardships and dangers, and there are very few who can reach the top!

When stepping on the path of cultivation, there are always only two choices, if you can't continue to move forward, then you can only sink into death. It's like the corpses all over the ground in front of you, turning to dust as the years go by.

"I'm not leaving!" Hearing Xiao Lan's words, Jin Zhu'er replied with a bit of stubbornness: "My roots are here, my master, senior sisters, and junior sisters are all here, I want to bury them, you go, you have nothing to do with our demon sect." Everything here, naturally, has nothing to do with you."

"Alas" sighed. Xiao Lanwu turned around and left, everyone has their own way, no matter what choice is made, since Jin Zhu'er has made her own choice, Xiao Lan will naturally not interfere with her decision, and leave. It was Xiao Lan who made the choice.

His roots are not here, there is no beginning, there is no end, here is just an insignificant stop in his life's journey. He still has a long way to go, and he needs to take it one step at a time.

Witnessing the tragic battle between the demon beast army and the three major demon gates, the Ghost King Sect suffered heavy losses, and the Ten Thousand Poison Gate and the Hehuan Sect were almost wiped out, Xiao Lan continued to track the traces of the demon beasts, following the traces left by the demon beast army, all the way to Sumeru Mountain, where Tianyin Temple is located.

It's just that he never thought that Tianyin Temple, known as one of the three major righteous sects in the world, would flee without a fight, there was only one empty mountain left in Mount Meru, and the army of beast gods crossed the border without the slightest obstacle, which made the divine beast feel very bored, if it wasn't for the fact that he was resurrected soon, and his strength had not been enhanced to the peak state, he was only afraid that he would immediately kill Qingyunmen!

Looking at the mess of Mount Meru that was swept away by the army of beast demons, Xiao Lan never imagined that it would be like this, the only thing to be happy about was that he got the fourth volume of the Book of Heaven on top of the wordless jade wall.

Five volumes of the Book of Heaven, Zhang Xiaofan and the Ghost King occupy the second, the last volume is in the Qingyunmen Fantasy Moon Ancient Cave, recorded on the Zhuxian Sword, since the third and fourth volumes are successful, Xiao Lan agreed in his heart and went straight to Qingyun Mountain.

The catastrophe is coming, at this moment on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, the heavy rain that has been falling all night is still falling, and the people in the righteous path led by the three major factions of the righteous path are gathering on the Yuqing Hall to discuss, and the sound of argument is sounding from time to time. And the three masters on the top throne, Qingyun Sect Dao Xuan Zhenren, Tianyin Temple Puhong Venerable and Incense Gu Yun Yilan, they were also discussing something in a low voice, and the three of them were all frowning, obviously preoccupied, worried about the beast and demon catastrophe in front of them.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came from outside the Yuqing Palace, and everyone was stunned, only to see Xiao Yicai, a disciple of the Changmen under the Qingyun Sect, walking quickly into the Yuqing Palace, pausing slightly, nodding to the surrounding righteous path people, and then walking straight towards Daoxuan Zhenren, whispering in his ear.

Everyone looked at these two people, and they all saw that Xiao Yicai's face had a grim expression, which was very unusual, and with his words, there was no trace of a smile on Dao Xuan Zhenren's already serious face, and the rest were solemn, and gradually, everyone's hearts were also raised, and they vaguely felt that the inexplicable pressure seemed to gradually descend on this place.

After listening to Xiao Yicai's words, Dao Xuan Zhenren glanced at him, and asked again in a low voice, Xiao Yicai nodded silently, with a look of certainty. Dao Xuan Zhenren let out a sigh of relief and nodded, Xiao Yicai silently turned around and stood behind Dao Xuan Zhenren.

The Venerable Puhong and Yun Yilan next to him also looked over at this moment, and the Venerable Puhong chanted the Buddha and said, "Amitabha, the head of Daoxuan, is there news of a beast demon?" ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren nodded and stood up, and there was a stir in the crowd of righteous people in the audience.

Dao Xuan Zhenren froze down, the expression on his face gradually showed a resolute look, and he said loudly: "Fellow Daoists, I just received the news that a large group of beast demons have appeared in the wilderness two hundred miles away from Qingyun Mountain, and they will come soon, and outside Heyang City under the mountain, traces of beast demons have also begun to be found sporadically. ”

As soon as these words came out, they caused a commotion in everyone, and for a while, panic, fear, anger, sighs, and other expressions appeared on everyone's faces, and the catastrophe that had been pressing on everyone's hearts for many days finally came to the front.

Dao Xuan Zhenren looked at everyone's expressions, pressed his hands, and the noise of everyone slowly lowered, and when the surroundings quieted down, Dao Xuan Zhenren said loudly: "Everyone, now the catastrophe is in front of you, the number of lives in the world depends on us and this group of demons, all of you here are righteous people with righteous paths, for the livelihood of the world, a battle in the coming day, you and I should do our best, as the so-called Tianxin is at ease, presumably there is no endless road to the sky, although these monsters are temporarily rampant, but they must not last long." ”

In the crowd, there was silence for a while, and someone spoke: "What the real person said is true." ”

"True people rest assured, there are so many masters here, we are fighting together, and it must not be difficult to defeat that beast demon!"

"Exactly, exactly"

It seemed to be inspired for a while, and everyone's expressions slowly began to relax and be happy, after all, no matter what, there are still three major sects here, and there are these masters. Farther away, on this Qingyun Mountain, there is also the legendary invincible and invincible Zhuxian Sword Array, looking at Dao Xuan Zhenren's confident expression, so what is there to worry about?

Under the gaze of countless righteous path people, Dao Xuan Zhenren smiled slowly, said a few words to everyone, and then walked back to the inner hall of the Yuqing Hall with Master Puhong, Yun Yilan, and Xiao Yicai.

Once he avoided everyone's sight, Dao Xuan Zhenren's face suddenly became heavy, and the faces of Master Pu Hong and Yun Yilan were not easy, and everyone walked to the secluded room in the inner hall, Xiao Yicai followed and closed the door.

Dao Xuan Zhenren turned to Xiao Yicai and said, "Yicai, you tell me the details." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded and said, "Yes." The disciple inspected Heyang City under the mountain, and was rewarded again and again in one day, especially at the head of Heyang City, the disciple saw a huge bird demon appear, looking at that appearance, it was very similar to the 'Shura Bird' known as the Thirteen Demon Kings among the rumors among the beast demons these days. ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren and the other two masters glanced at each other, their faces were heavy, and Xiao Yicai said solemnly: "In addition, the rest of the fellow disciples who were secretly exploring the surrounding realm have reported that they have found sporadic traces of beasts and demons, especially the most dense two hundred miles to the southwest, but the disciples who are investigating two hundred miles away have been waiting for a long time, but there has been no news of them. ”

When Xiao Yicai said this, his face gradually darkened, Dao Xuan Zhenren had a calm face, while Yun Yilan next to him sighed, and Master Puhong chanted Buddha in a low voice.

Dao Xuan Zhenren pondered for a moment, nodded, and said to Xiao Yicai: "It seems that it will not be wrong, the beast demon is indeed here, Yicai," he looked at this most beloved disciple, and said: "You go down the mountain again, and inform the disciples who are scattered everywhere to investigate all shrink back, and the range is about a hundred miles around Qingyun Mountain, remember to tell them not to cross the border to investigate without authorization, let alone act with the beast demon in vain, so as not to have an accident." ”

Xiao Yicai nodded, as if he remembered something, and said, "Master, what about those people in Heyang City?" ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Master Puhong and Yun Yilan, Master Puhong bowed his head, Yun Yilan said lightly: "So far, everything is headed by the real person in charge, please make a decision." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren bowed slightly, expressing his gratitude, and then pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Yicai: "This matter is indeed tricky, but Heyang City is too dangerous, and we really can't go down the mountain to guard the people now." You immediately go down the mountain to Heyang City, lead all the Qingyun disciples in Heyang City, and tell the people in Heyang City to go north as soon as possible, at least beyond the Qingyun Mountain Range. The biggest target of those beast demons at the moment is the righteous path on our Qingyun Mountain, not those people, so they may be able to ensure temporary safety. ”

Xiao Yicai was stunned for a moment, but looking at Dao Xuanzhen's expressionless face, he finally nodded silently and said in a low voice: "Yes, the disciple will go." ”

Dao Xuan Zhenren: "There is one more thing, you notify Qingyun of the other six veins as soon as possible, and come to Tongtian Peak once, I will see them immediately and discuss something" (to be continued.) )
