Chapter 88: The Stygian River on the Other Side
Jiutu Mountain is stacked with mountains and mountains, and there is a gray mist all year round, which makes people daunting and dare not enter to find out.
However, what people don't know is that this uninhabited and desolate place is actually the headquarters of the mysterious killer organization Shadow Pavilion.
A cold moon hangs in the vast night sky, and the silvery white light shrouds the quiet mountain forest. The tall building melted into the darkness was like a strong fortress, standing on the banks of the sparkling Stygian River, as if it were a palace from the ghost realm, surrounded by the cold air of the forest and making people shudder.
Above the dark cyan main hall stood a figure as thin as a child, and a few meters away, there stood the three people of the Shadow Pavilion, Ghost Cry, and Poison Fang.
I saw that the skin under the neat and thick black flowing sea of the short-headed man was covered by layers of bandages, revealing only a pair of hollow eyes and bewitching red lips that seemed to be stained with blood, and the girl-like thin and petite body was wrapped in wide black clothes, and the two slender arms that were faintly exposed were also slowly wrapped with bandages, showing a strange sense of incompleteness.
"Yo, people still think that a few of you were also burned by the fire of Hanging Cloud Villa~" The girl wrapped in the bandage let out a crisp giggle like a silver bell, "What's the matter, are you willing to come back one or two of you today?" "This person is the right envoy in charge of intelligence affairs in the two envoys of the Shadow Pavilion, the right envoy in charge of intelligence affairs, because of the perennial practice of poisonous skills, the skin of the whole body is ulcerated and the face is ruined, although the voice and smile are like a child, but the actual age is no longer known.
"Hmph, the token in Baili Liuyun's hand is fake!" Peerless Chang Wushuang's expression was gloomy, and being concealed for so long made him feel extremely angry, "Where is the real token?" Where is the pavilion master now? ”
Who knew that Yutai October smiled, and his bandaged cheeks were as hideous as ghosts, "You are stupid~ If I knew, would I still be able to let Baili Liuyun take you away?" ”
Chang Wushuang clenched his fists, and just as he wanted to continue to ask, he heard the sound of a fierce fight outside.
The heavy door was shaken open by a strong air current, and several black-clad Shadow Pavilion killers spat blood and fell to the ground convulsing, while the figure who then walked into the room caused everyone present to gasp.
"Dawn!"
I saw that the person who came was dressed in a neat black suit, and his delicate and handsome face was shrouded in a layer of murderous and cold murderous aura, his eyes swept over everyone present, and he asked out loud word by word: "On the day of the fire in Hanging Cloud Villa, were you all at the scene?" "The skin that was so pale and transparent because of not seeing the sun for a long time was that the pale blue meridians like jade cracks could be faintly seen, but there were some signs of going crazy.
"Didn't you say you were going to quit the Shadow Pavilion before, why are you coming back now?" Chang Wushuang quickly regained his calm expression, he had long heard that this kid Dawn was imprisoned by the bitter leaf old bald donkey of the Pranya Temple, why did he come out so quickly? Don't......
Chen Yao didn't look at Chang Wushuang, and finally locked his eyes on Tantai October, and walked over, the powerful true qi overflowing from his body could already be distinguished with the naked eye, like a layer of light veil flowing with a faint blue shimmer shrouded in the black-clothed young man's body, every step you could see that the ground was slightly collapsed, Chang Wushuang and the others felt a chilling murderous aura and retreated in unison, only Tantai October was still standing in place as a little girl, with a red lip and a bandaged index finger, slightly tilting her head and looking up at Chen Yao, chuckled, "Want information?" No problem, you know the rules~"
"Yutai, he has already withdrawn from the Shadow Pavilion, don't ...... it," Yin Linghua reminded in a whisper.
"Exit? This can't work~" Yutai October spread out his palms and turned around lightly like a little girl, but his big black eyes were so empty that there was no trace of life, "The pavilion master is not here, so the affairs of the Shadow Pavilion must be agreed by the two envoys on the left and right, did people say that Xiao Chenyao withdrew?" Then he clapped his hands and ordered someone to take out a mahogany sword box, and when he opened it, he revealed the blade that was as white as snow inside, which was the frost evening sword.
Chen Yao's eyes lit up, this is a gift from himself to Chaolu, why is it here......
"I heard that your Daybreak Sword was hidden by the bald donkeys of the Pranya Temple? You can take this and use it first~" Yutai October smiled leisurely, the crisp girl's voice sounded a chill, and then took out a delicate bag and threw it to Chen Yao, "Okay, the information has been given to you~ Also, this mission is also attached to the bag, remember to finish it easily!" ”
"Shantai, you ......" Chang Wushuang twisted his eyebrows, obviously also disagreeing with the way he handled things in October.
Chenyao's black clothes flashed and disappeared into the hall like a shadow.
After being silent for a long time, the same black-clothed phantom voice walked in from the side door, although Chang Wushuang and the others were very surprised that this moody and extremely uncooperative companion suddenly appeared on the table, but Yutai October looked calm, but instead hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "You can force him like this, you can also have some ability~"
"Didn't you sue him that I did all this?" Phantom looked at the October of the Plateau indifferently, and the black yarn fluttered like butterfly wings.
Yutai pursed his lips and asked with wide eyes, "Do you think people would do such stupid things?" It's not good for anyone, is it? ”
Phantom Yin turned around in silence and quickly left through the side door, leaving Chang Wushuang and the others looking at each other and not understanding what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds.
……
At the same time, the West Yuguan desert north wasteland.
"What do you say?! You're the infamous flower picker Jun Wuye—"
When Yu Fengxian heard Jun Wuye's self-introduction, his eyes were about to pop out, this, what's the matter?! Chaolu has been with such an unbearable person for so long, should it be ...... Protecting the girl in his arms, Yu Fengxian looked at the other side indifferently and vigilantly, and he didn't know where he was provoking the other party's Jun Wuye.
"Hey!" The corners of Jun Wuye's mouth twitched, "Why do you love and guard me as much as the little lady Chaolu?" Don't worry, I'm not interested in men, and I won't do anything to you~" Thinking too much, you? Although you look a little good-looking, but in the end you have the same handle as Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu with broken sleeves or something is definitely not good!
Hearing the other party's undisciplined words, Yu Fengxian's face darkened, although this Jun Wuye is not as obscene and ugly as rumored, but unexpectedly handsome and elegant, but it is really annoying to speak without concealing it!
Keenly aware of the smell of gunpowder between the two, Chaolu hurriedly pulled the palm of Yu Fengxian and wrote a few words, asking him not to worry that Jun Wuye was just a little cheap, but he was actually a good person.
So Yu Fengxian swallowed hard, twisted his head, and no longer cared about that obscene person!
Chaolu, Yu Fengxian, and Jun Wuye had bypassed the quicksand area and marched forward for dozens of miles, and what appeared in front of them was still a large expanse of the endless Gobi Desert, as if it would never end.
"Are you sure the ruins of the ancient city are around here?" Yu Fengxian really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and turned back to Jun Wuye, who was looking at the map, this place was inaccessible and desolate, and he was worried that Chaolu's body would not be able to bear it.
Shrugged helplessly, Jun Wuye raised his eyebrows, if the treasure was so easy to dig up, how could it be their turn?
However, at this moment, the violent wind mixed with some strange sounds floated from a distance, which made the hearts of the three people present tense at the same time.
"This is ......" Jun Wuye was stunned.
It's singing!
After Chaolu couldn't see anything, her sense of hearing increased a lot, and she could hear it at once, and the intermittent soft chant accompanied by the sound of the wind was completely a woman's beautiful singing.
Listen closely, the wind that crosses the Gobi is mixed with the sound of a woman singing softly, although it is intermittent and incomplete, but the melody is sad enough to make the listener sad......
A few people held their breath and walked in the direction of the song, and from a distance, they could see the hollow of the Gobi over there gradually revealing the magnificent outline of a city, as if a huge and magnificent picture was unfolding in front of them, Yu Fengxian and Jun Wuye both opened their eyes wide and showed surprised expressions, and Chaolu, who couldn't see the vision in front of them, also heard the clue from the surprised voices of the people around him, what was that......
However, when I got closer, I found that the ancient city was still so far away, as if it was impossible to reach at all, and the strange song was getting closer and closer. Jun Wuye couldn't hold his breath for the first time, and suddenly stopped and turned to the two behind him and said, "Yu Fengxian, didn't you notice that something was wrong?" ”
Yu Fengxian tightened his cloak to shield the morning dew from the wind and sand, and looked up at the front, his handsome face covered with beads of sweat from the scorching sun. In fact, he had already discovered that the ancient city in front of him seemed to be floating in the clouds, and the scene was too bizarre, obviously in this deserted place, how could such a magnificent building appear?
"It shouldn't be just a mirage...... Jun Wuye sighed a little disappointed, the treasure map he finally got ~ Don't just be a dream!
Mirage?
According to the climatic conditions of this area, this is indeed possible, but ...... Chaolu listened to the seemingly non-existent song with bated breath, and although she could never determine the source of the sound, she was sure that the voice was definitely not a hallucination! And, for some reason, the closer she got to that voice, the more she seemed to have a resonant reaction.
"Morning dew!" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Yu Fengxian hurriedly grabbed her, "What's wrong with you?" This is where to go—"
Unable to express it in words, Chaolu had to make a few gestures impatiently, and then vigorously shook off the wind string and continued to walk forward. There must be something here, something that I have to pursue......
That's right, the Nine Heavens God Key! The power in her body resonated with the song, and the strange sensation of her whole body as if it was electrified constantly stimulated her tense nerves, calling her closer.
