Chapter 16: The Ancient Tree of Cold Wood
The giant python swallowed the heavenly beggar, and then killed the four core disciples of the west mountain. In the end, the python left, and the remaining three survived. Shang Yu went to find Ji Li and killed them. Wu Zhan took Fei Lin on the boat, which means that he gave up this mission.
And everything that happened didn't even take half a day.
......
The Valley of a Thousand Demons looked calm, and no one knew what was going on inside.
After the python left, it slid down the cliff and headed deep into the Valley of the Thousand Demons. In the depths of the Valley of the Thousand Demons, the giant python entered a huge karst cave, which looked like it was the upper half of the Lingyun Sect. The cave is full of demon beasts, there are many types, all of them are extremely large, and many of them have the strength of Xuan-level demon beasts. When the demons saw the giant python come in, they all fell silent, as if they were waiting for something. The python crawled forward in a twist and turn, and came to a large pool of water, which was round in shape and about 100 zhang in diameter. There is also an ancient tree in the pool, and the branches can cover the top of this hundred-zhang round pool, but this ancient tree, most of which has died, only a few dots of green can still set off its life.
The python came to the edge of the pool, and Changxin retracted into his mouth, and then spat out something the size of a silkworm cocoon. The giant python pushed it into the round pool with its mouth, and the outer layer of the wrapped thing melted when it met the pool water, revealing a figure, which was a beggar.
Staying in the water and not breathing, he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and no matter where it was, he crawled to the shore.
Wasn't he eaten by a giant python? How could he still feel it? Wasn't he dead yet? How could he fall into the water? The beggar crawled to the shore, and countless thoughts rose in his mind.
Tianqi climbed ashore, bent over and coughed violently a few times, "This water is too cold and weird, the Taoist robe can be wet, what the hell is this place." ”
When I looked up, I was so frightened that I sat directly on the ground and almost fell into the water again. There were dozens of demon beasts in the huge cave, all staring at him.
"What are you playing, just eat me and eat it, I don't have an opinion. But you can't take me home and share it with your friends, I'm so big, and I don't have enough for you to stuff your teeth. ”
Tianqi also saw the giant python that swallowed him, and it was also looking at Tianqi. The beggars want to lie on the ground and slowly crawl out of the cave, trying not to alarm them.
"Hehe, don't panic, little friend, it's because we can't entertain well. ”
As soon as Tianqi wanted to lie down, he heard a vicissitudes of sound sound.
"Who's talking, listen to this tone, some are discussing. Tianqi turned his head and looked around, but he didn't know who was talking.
"Don't look for a little friend, it's an old man. The voice sounded again.
Tianqi looked back, there was a big tree that was about to die, Tianqi was still a little unconvinced, and bent his finger and pointed, "You?"
"Yes, it's the old man. The old man is this ancient tree, which is more than 2,000 years old. It's also the only earth-level demon beast in this Thousand Demon Valley, but it won't live long. ”
Tian Qi looked at this big tree, and his heart was a little bottomless, the ancient tree of Hanmu, more than two thousand years old, was still a ground-level demon beast. Forget about the first two, this tree doesn't look like a demon beast.
Hanmu Gushu smiled, seeing the doubt in Tianqi's eyes, "We are not your human body, as long as we have cultivation, we will be determined to be demon beasts, and I am also on the path of demon beast cultivation, so I am naturally considered a demon beast." ”
"Oh, then you, take me ...... Is there something wrong?" asked the heavenly beggar weakly.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, and listen to the old man tell you a story. ”
"The Futu Continent is composed of four blocks: Xiling, Beimo, Nanhuan and Dongyuan, and we are located in Xiling. ”
"A thousand years ago, this was the area under the jurisdiction of the Xiling Demon Venerable Guangshang, and the Demon Venerable Guangshang was a heaven-level demon beast. He has twenty-one earth-level demon beasts under him, and he fought in Xiling, which was also well-known in Xiling at that time, and was called, Guangshang Twenty-one Shura, earth-level demon beasts can not only speak people's words, but also incarnate Shura, the old man is not talented, and he is also one of them. ”
"One day, Demon Venerable Guangshang brought us twenty-one earth-level demon beasts to this Thousand Demon Valley, and when we occupied the Thousand Demon Valley, Demon Venerable Guangshang said that he felt the breath of his own rank-breaking. Occupying the Valley of a Thousand Demons, the Demon Venerable broke the ranks, and it could be described as a double happiness at that time. Our twenty-one Shura will be here to protect the Dharma for the Demon Venerable, and wait for the Demon Venerable to break through the ranks. ”
"But after three years of retreat on the Demon Venerable, an uninvited guest came here, he called himself Ling Yun, and he had the cultivation of the spirit transformation stage. At that time, the Demon Venerable was at the critical juncture of retreat, and he also saw this opportunity and prepared to sneak attack the Demon Venerable. None of our twenty-one Shura was his opponent, and they were all suppressed by him. Demon Venerable was angry and went out, the retreat was not over, and the Demon Venerable forcibly exited the level, which also caused great damage to himself, but just like that, Mozun still fought with Ling Yun for three days and three nights. ”
"In the end, the Demon Venerable was killed by Ling Yun's men due to internal and external injuries, and Ling Yun was also seriously injured at that time, and wanted to take away the corpse of the Demon Venerable and the twenty-one Shura of Guangshang with us. We swore to the death and continued to fight with the injured Ling Yun, and finally Ling Yun picked up a magic weapon and used his own essence and blood as a guide, wanting to take us in. My twenty brothers couldn't escape, and together they left me behind. Tell me to wait for an opportunity to avenge them. After Ling Yun took in my twenty elder brothers, he was already on the verge of exhaustion and had no ability to kill me again, so he set up a magic circle to trap the Thousand Demon Valley. From then on, the demon beasts in the Valley of a Thousand Demons could no longer ascend to the ground level, nor could they get out. And I have begun to weaken gradually over the past thousand years. ”
"He said something at the time, he said that after he left, he would open a sect and establish a path, and his disciples would kill all the demon beasts in my Thousand Demon Valley. ”
After hearing this, Tianqi felt that he was relishing, there was such an interesting thing in this Thousand Demon Valley, and Master Lingyun Ancestor actually did such a big thing, that is, it was a little not very bright, taking advantage of people's retreat to sneak attack people's homes.
Hanmu Gushu sighed, looked at Tian Qi and said, "Little friend, do you know why the old man told you this?"
Tian Qi came to his senses, and saw Hanmu Gushu talking to himself, "Ah? ”
"You are the inspiration of my twenty brothers. Hanmu Gushu said that he was a little excited, and the water in the pool trembled.
Tianqi pointed to himself and said, "What, me?"
"Yes, you see. ”
The spirit white jade token on Tianqi's waist rose into the air in vain, and there were bursts of sound from inside the token.
"Relieve us of the prohibition, give you supreme creation, relieve our prohibition, give you supreme exercises, relieve us ......"
After hearing this, Tianqi suddenly screamed, "I've heard this voice, I've heard it......" After realizing that he was out of shape, his voice became smaller and smaller.
Hanmu Gushu laughed, "Little friend, of course you have heard this voice, this is the voice of my twenty elder brothers." ”
Tian Qi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, the twenty Shura in the Yiyun Hall were the same twenty who were taken away by the Lingyun Patriarch at the beginning? It seems that the sect master said the same thing at that time. Then he looked at the ancient tree of Hanmu uneasily.
"Why did you choose me, and what do you want me to do?"
"Little friend, don't panic, why did you choose you, because your life is peculiar, you can't see your soul clearly, and it is the most suitable for cutting off cause and effect. The old man can't see this in you. The old man actually wants to beg you to save my twenty elder brothers, but as a disciple of the Lingyun Sect, I am afraid that they will wait for you to grow up and help him Lingyun Sect kill the lives of my twenty elder brothers. The cause and effect between the Heavenly Rank Demon Beast and the Spiritual Transformation Stage Monk have been resolved. Of course, don't panic, the old man won't hurt the little friend, I just beg the little friend not to hurt the lives of my twenty brothers. After the little friend turns into a spirit or destroys the calamity, I will release my twenty elder brothers, and then they will not go to the trouble of the Lingyun Sect again. ”
