Chapter 52: The Remains of the Great Demon
Surrounded by bright water currents, the peaks that appear are not high, only a few tens of meters, and most of the mountains are hidden under the water, bottomless.
A section of the mountain that emerges from the water is barren and devoid of vegetation, like a dead land, the mountain is cracked, and the ground is full of rubble, and the eyes are full of gloom.
"There is a mountain in the underwater world. ”
Ye Ling let out an admiring voice, the underwater world at the end of the Chu River was essentially a demonic enchantment, which was similar to the monster bazaar, but it was relatively larger and more advanced.
There should only be an endless amount of water here, but suddenly a mountain appeared, which is unreasonable and strange.
"It was an ancient mountain, and there was once a great demon who moved the mountain realm who tried to forcibly take that sword, but ultimately failed. ”
The ferryman explained that for a thousand years, in addition to the priest Zizhong, there were many monsters who knew about the secrets of this place, and entered the Chu River to occupy the sword.
Without exception, they all failed.
But there is a big demon who moves mountains, unwilling to fail, angrily moved to refine the ancient mountain, erupted with the majestic power of the mountains and seas, and wanted to take away the sword by brutal means, but as a result, he killed himself, and the ancient mountain sank underwater and never saw the light of day.
"The mountain moving demon is dead, and the ancient mountain remains here, and there must be countless treasures left on this mountain. The ferryman sighed.
"Since you have a treasure, why don't you go and take it if you are here for a thousand years?"
Ye Ling was a little puzzled, the ferryman was greedy by nature, and the treasures were in front of him, how could he let it go?
The ferryman lifted the bronze lantern and replied sadly.
"Ghosts like us can't leave the ferry, otherwise they will disappear on the spot, this is the supreme edict jointly issued by the Queen of the Lethe River Demon and the Lord of the Xudu, and it cannot be violated. ”
Ye Ling sighed and nodded, the ferryman also had to extradite him for this reason.
"I'm going to go to that ancient mountain. ”
The mountain moving demon has an extremely long lifespan, and can easily live for thousands of years, and Gu Yu Bird has lived for a full three hundred years, but in front of the thousand-year-old demon like the priest, he is actually only a rebellious child in adolescence.
It's hard to imagine how many priceless treasures they've amassed over the long years of a mountain mover.
The ancient mountain is their home, and many treasures will remain on the ancient mountain.
Ye Ling has always been very hot about Gu Xuanniao's nine-headed mountain, but his strength is not enough, and he has more scruples, so he doesn't dare to go up for the time being.
When one day he completes the mountain and sea arts, or simply becomes a mountain mover, he will definitely have to go to Jiutou Mountain.
The boat rowed forward and stopped on the shore of the hill.
"Young man, please disembark and pursue your chance. ”
The ferryman's attitude was very friendly, and his arms made a respectful posture to get off the boat, and he couldn't see the previous resentment and dissatisfaction at all, and his tone was very demagogic.
Ye Ling nodded, raised his feet and walked under the boat, and suddenly turned his head and asked.
"When I get off the boat, you're not going to take the opportunity to run, are you?"
The ferryman shook his head violently and stammered.
"Where is the duty, don't dare to leave!"
......
"Click,"
The ancient mountain has decayed, the mud and rocks have weathered, and when you step on the ground, it is a deep footprint, like stepping on the snow.
Ye Ling felt as if the mountain was really "dead", entering a strange state, and all the immortal things were turning into ashes.
"That greedy ferryman has lied to you, there is danger on this mountain. ”
Gu Shou Bird issued a cautious reminder.
Ye Ling bent down to crack an earthy yellow rock and responded, "I guessed, I will leave immediately when I encounter unknown danger." ”
He looked back, and the dark Upong boat on the shore swayed gently in the water, and the ferryman with a bronze lantern stood at the bow of the boat, like a statue hidden in the darkness.
"Wow!"
A ball of fire appeared in Ye Ling's palm, and the power of Fushan-style illuminated the way forward.
There is a winding path that leads to the top of the mountain.
In fact, he could fly directly to the top of the mountain, which was only a few tens of meters high, but he chose to follow the trail and walk up.
Soon to the top of the mountain, all the way safe.
"No treasures, no dangers......"
He looked around, and all he could see was lifeless loess.
There is a broken ancient monument at the top of the mountain, but Ye Ling does not know the two ancient characters inscribed, so he can only vaguely guess that the last word should be "mountain".
"Who!"
Ye Ling suddenly frowned, and his eyes looked to the left.
The yellow sand is silent, the four fields are empty, and only his voice echoes on the top of the mountain.
Ye Ling felt a very uncomfortable feeling of peeping just now, which made him uneasy and had a feeling of nausea.
Is it a delusion?
Or is there something unclean?
"Zheng!"
A snow-white sword qi slashed towards the clearing on the left, and a crack several feet deep appeared.
"A corpse?"
Ye Ling's eyes were solemn and he looked at the ground where the sword qi had split.
The mud and dust parted there, revealing some miserable white and rough bones, with an ancient atmosphere, bloody and miserable, and some of the exposed bones should be chest bones, and most of the rest of the corpses were still buried deep in the ground.
On the top of the dead and empty mountain, there was a skeleton buried.
"It should be the mountain moving demon on this ancient mountain, who died here, and the ancient mountain 'ate' his body. ”
Gu Xuaniao guessed: "This corpse still contains demonic energy, and it has not dissipated. ”
The body of the blood demon has not changed much compared to ordinary beasts. But the mountain moving demon is different, every part is extremely precious, and it is a peerless material of extraordinary value.
In the past, Zhu Gang had a pig's trotter to make Ye Ling directly reborn, and his strength could compete with a green bull demon, which was of course due to Zhu Gangguan's integration of true blood into the pig's trotters, but mainly because the flesh and blood of the mountain-moving demon was a great supplement.
"I thought it was some kind of treasure. ”
Ye Ling pursed his lips, he had always been insensitive to demon flesh and blood.
It doesn't matter if you use a drop of blood, some scaly hair, or whatever. But no matter how much it is, it will be unbearable, and it will feel cruel in the heart.
You are friends with Zhu Gangguan, so will you continue to eat pork? If Concubine Yu wants to paste it, will you gnaw snake meat in front of her? The priest is close to you, will you still buy lotus roots in the vegetable market and go back to cooking?
I don't know what other cultivators think, anyway, Ye Ling won't continue to do that, just like he hasn't eaten dog meat since he was a child.
While this may seem like some trivial and trivial matter, it's actually serious and has to be considered.
The same goes for demons.
If Zhu Gangguan, Master Yu's concubine, and the priest are man-eating monsters, Ye Ling will not have too much contact with them at all, and the most he can do when he meets is different from each other, if the strength is enough, it may be bloody to die and kill demons for Tianxingdao.
Fox demon beacon fire, female ghost marriage, white snake marriage, if they eat people behind their backs, then what kind of flowers before the moon, tear-jerking eternal love?
There is a huge gap between humans and demons, which is caused by many aspects such as will, emotion, and concept, and is never simply good and evil.
There are some legends that after killing demons, Terran cultivators eat their flesh and blood to enhance their cultivation and refine them into magic weapons to kill all directions, and at the same time, they can also talk and laugh with their demon friends and treat each other sincerely. What an incomprehensible and treacherous thing is that?
"Dead dead, bury him. ”
Ye Ling sighed, waved his hand, and the golden aura turned into several nine-toothed rakes and big axes, pushing up the dust on the ground and burying the corpse again.
Dust to dust, soil to earth, what a mountain mover, what demon legend, everything is buried underground forever, become a passing cloud.
That's when it happened.
Suddenly, a weak voice sounded from the ground, with joy, as if pleading.
"It's been hundreds of years, and I've finally waited for a kind person!Young man, do you want my inheritance treasure?"
