1. Blood Demon Cave
Under the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, in the Seven Absolute Valleys, the Seven Absolute Mountain Villas.
It has been half a month since Zhang Chu returned from the Holy Volcano, and he has been very busy these days, going back and forth to the Flying Eagle near the Tianshan Mountains to pass several letters a day.
They were all sent to Yunnan, Guizhou, Xueyu and Yanjing.
In the past few months, the open and secret battles between the good and evil sides in Huainan and Xiaoxiang have almost pulled the Five Elements Gate, the Ten Thousand Poison Gate and the Seven Absolute Gates into it.
The rudders of the Seven Peerless Gates on the front line of Guanzhong, Sichuan, and Yungui have all retreated, and they obviously do not intend to fight with decency head-on.
Mrs. Tongtang, the witch of Miao Jiang's witch Gu Dao, came forward at the request of Zhang Chu in several letters, taking into account her old relationship with Zhang Moxie.
She gathered the remnants of those Demon Sects and defeated generals, and she was at the forefront.
With the power of the Witch Gu Dao, he deterred the decent people who were about to move and planned to chase down the north, which could be regarded as giving the other Demon Sect sects some respite.
Being pressed and beaten like this by decency, the people in the Demon Sect are obviously very aggrieved.
In recent days, the ties between the several suzerains have become even closer.
In the past few days, they have made some bold plans, planning to make a big wave in other places while the decency is concentrating all its forces in Xiaoxiang.
Teach these decent people who get carried away a good lesson.
However, no matter how good the plan is, it takes time and the wisdom of the group.
It is easy to say that the Five Elements Gate and the Ten Thousand Poison Gate have suffered a big loss in Suzhou, and they have lost face, and it is the time when they are crazy to take revenge and regain their majesty.
The junior brother of the old man with ten thousand poisons was killed by decency in the land of Xiaoxiang, and the old man with ten thousand poisons was also on fire.
As soon as Zhang Chu invited slightly, these two demon lords should come down, and now it is Yanjing's side that is more difficult.
The Witch Sect Master was happy that he didn't reply for a long time, which made Zhang Chu a little undecided.
On this day, in the Seven Peerless Mountain Villa, Zhang Chu put down the letter in his hand, and a trace of determination flashed in his heterochromatic pupils.
The Witch Sect didn't know what was going on, and it didn't answer for a long time, and it didn't even reply to a letter, so it was as if Happy had suddenly disappeared.
But it can't wait any longer.
If he wants to convince everyone in the entire Demon Cult to convince him and be willing to follow him, he has to show his ability.
This time, the Demon Sect was suppressed by decency, although it was a crisis.
But there are also great opportunities.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains where the clouds and mist gathered in the distance, under this snowy mountain, the atmosphere was naturally not high, and when Zhang Chu breathed, there was a clear white mist.
Zhang Chu stroked the bandage wrapped in his hand, and thought in his heart:
"When I was a child, my father used to teach me that to do great things, you have to be bold and careful.
The difference between a mediocre and a genius is whether or not you can find the opportunities that lie in everything. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”
Zhang Chu narrowed his eyes, and he whispered:
"The rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes... Hehe, joke!
The things of the world, you have me, I have you, how can you look at them separately?
It seems that I have to go to Yanjing in person.
It's just that the matter on the side of the Holy Fire Sect also needs to hurry up, which is a dilemma. ”
Zhang Chu thought about it carefully, and the competent personnel of each branch were not allowed to be transferred at this time, and they had to stay in Guanzhong to the front line of Yungui to attract the energy of the scattered decent knights.
Before the plan is actually implemented, there will be more noise.
But after thinking about it, he didn't have the right-hand man who could move anymore, and there was originally a Kutuo who did a good job, but unfortunately that Kutuo also died in Suzhou City.
still died at the hands of his brother who had always been prodigal and unproductive.
"Zhang Lan..."
Zhang Chu let out a sigh of relief, his younger brother, this time really made him really nerve-wracking.
"Go and invite Elder Beihan to come, and by the way, go and gather the three hundred elite people in the sect."
Zhang Chu stood outside the secret place and said to his henchmen who were guarding outside the study:
"Come with me to Yanjing in a few days."
"Yes."
The henchmen outside the door left immediately.
Not long after, Yang Beihan, the elder of the Seven Peerless Sect, staggered to Zhang Chu's study.
This guy is about fifty years old, and he is the elder of the Seven Peerless Sects.
But his stature is much shorter than Zhang Chu, just like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man, as if he is suffering from dwarfism.
The face is also somewhat ugly, like the gills of a monkey with a sharp beak.
His long hair was messy, gray and white, his appearance was not good, and there was a black wine gourd hanging from his waist.
It seems that he has drunk a little at this time, and he is a little drunk.
"See the door master, the door master Wan An."
The monkey-like little old man pretended to arch his hand, and said in a long voice, as if with a sarcastic meaning.
But those who are familiar with Yang Beihan know that this guy speaks like this.
Born with a bit of yin and yang.
has lived until now, and has not been killed, which shows that this guy has good means.
Zhang Chu didn't care, he sat behind the desk, waved his hand, and said:
"Uncle Beihan, you are an old man who has followed my father, and my father trusted you back then, and I have also treated you as an elder since I was a child.
In the past, when I went out to do things, Uncle Bei Han was always the supervisor of the door, and he was the person I trusted the most among the seven peerless sects.
I haven't forgotten that my greedy wolf knife technique was taught by Uncle Bei Han.
You can be regarded as my master. ”
"I am happy to be able to gain the trust of the door master, but even if the little old man claims to be the master of the door.
The master's talent is amazing, even if there is no me, the stunt left by the old master, the master can master it himself. ”
Yang Beihan smiled, just like a monkey laughing in the night.
He did follow Zhang Moxie.
Yang Beihan was bullied because of his bad appearance since he was a child, and he worked hard to make a career.
He is also a talented and lucky.
"Uncle Beihan, I'm going to Yanjing, but you don't have to go with me, I have other important things for you to do."
Zhang Chu's heterochromatic pupils looked at the diminutive elder in front of him.
He said in an emphatic tone:
"I know Uncle Bei Han is close to my lifeless brother, and you also regard him as a parent-child descendant.
Now that the lifeless sword technique is progressing rapidly, it's time to go to the world outside the Great Snow Mountain and have a look.
But he is simple-minded, and when he goes out alone, I don't feel at ease, so I want Uncle Bei Han to travel around the rivers and lakes with no life, challenge the masters, and break through the sword skills.
It just so happens that the Holy Fire Sect has something to do, and I want to help one or two.
So he asked Uncle Bei Han to go to help with his lifelessness. Is Uncle Beihan willing? ”
Seeing Zhang Chu asking, the five short-stature elders did not hesitate, he leaned over Zhang Chu very shamefully and said:
"Then this matter should be done below, but the door master, with all due respect, the Holy Fire Sect is not a good stubble, and this trip is to help with heart?
Or do you want to go with the flow? ”
"Just go with the flow."
Zhang Chu looked at Yang Beihan, he said with his hands on his shoulders:
"Even if you can't do anything, it doesn't matter, I still have a backhand.
Uncle Bei Han and wait in the door, I'll go and bring my lifeless brother out of the Blood Demon Cave. ”
After a stick of incense, Zhang Chu personally went to the back of the villa.
At the foot of this snow-capped mountain, there is a secret place of the Seven Peerless Gates, and on the way there, there are the elites of the Seven Peerless Sects guarding everywhere.
Seeing the door master strolling over, those elites bowed down one after another to salute.
Zhang Chu didn't look at them, so he stood on tiptoe and swept into the mountain stream in front of him.
When entering this natural cave, there is a pungent bloody breath rushing to the face, thick and gloomy, making people tremble and uncomfortable, as if they have strayed into some evil place.
But Zhang Chu didn't care.
He walked into the cave, and the further he went, the more demonic blood flourished.
At the end of this dim cave is a circular area with a radius of ten feet, somewhat dim, without candles, but below the cave, there is a pool.
It's covered in tumbling red liquid.
Blood.
The entire pool, which was three feet down, was filled with blood.
Those dark halos floated in this cave, like an evil sparkling wave, and the scalp of the person who watched it tingled.
In the center of the blood pool, on a strange stone platform like bones, there is a magic knife and evil sword.
The magic knife was placed horizontally on top of two pieces of blood-colored jade, as if it were its own life, swallowing a dark red halo, as if breathing.
And on the edge of the jade platform, a figure sits cross-legged.
The thin body, some skinny and bony but the evil sword master, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old young man was worried about his life, and he was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the jade platform.
Five hearts to the sky.
It seems to be practicing some kind of strange exercise.
Sticky blood flowed over his crossed legs, red true qi swimming within him like a lamp under his skin.
It has been more than eight months since the Battle of Suzhou.
In that battle, the various fatal injuries suffered by Wu Wusheng left hideous scars on his emaciated body, but those injuries had been nourished and healed in this pool of evil blood.
Zhang Chu looked at the sorrowful sitting in the pool of blood.
The young man had his eyes closed, and a shy smile on his face, as if he had thought of something warm.
Zhang Chu looked at him.
The green and black pupils were filled with eyes as if they were looking at a treasure.
The young man in front of him is indeed a treasure.
It is a good treasure given to Zhang Chu by God to help him achieve great things.
The boy was born fearless.
If you don't have to be afraid of this emotion, you won't be invaded by the illusion of the sea of blood that comes to mind with the magic sword.
Not to mention that in the company of the magic knife day and night, I will be frightened crazy by the evil long knife, or be stimulated to go crazy.
This young man is also gifted, and has a heart to ask for knives.
He said that he could chat with Baodao, and Zhang Chu didn't know what it was like.
But except for his own father, the magic knife that no one is convinced of is evil, but he is willing to stay with this young man from the Western Regions, and he will not take his life.
This shows that Wu Wufu is not lying.
It's just a pity that this young man is still young, his potential has not been developed, and he can't completely control the magic knife left by his father, so he can only use it reluctantly.
It's a bit of a waste of talent.
But it doesn't matter, Zhang Chu can afford to wait!
When this jade boy grows up, he will inevitably become the sharpest magic knife in Zhang Chu's hands!
For his hegemony, he cut off all the people who did not obey in the world.
"No life!"
Zhang Chu stood on top of the blood pool, in the reflection of the evil blood light, the shadow he cast seemed to be a little distorted, he put his hands behind his back, and called out to the young man in the blood pool.
The latter opened his eyes and looked up a little dazedly.
When he saw Zhang Chu, a happy smile appeared on his worried face, he stood up from the pool of blood, and said to Zhang Chu in an intermittent hoarse voice:
"Brother Zhang Chu, you, come to see me?"
"Hmm."
Zhang Chu's attitude towards worrying about his life is quite intimate.
This intimacy is not all fake.
This young man was born with a heart for a knife, and he didn't care about external objects, as if he was living in his own simple world.
He grew up in the Seven Peerless Gates, isolated from the outside world.
The mind is very simple, and I don't know how to hide what I think.
But anyone who is gloomy likes to stay with such a simple-minded person.
Moreover, Zhang Chu has been a little disdainful of his biological brother Zhang Lan since he was a child.
felt that Zhang Lan was too cowardly.
Especially after Zhang Lan ran away in a negative mood and the relationship between the two brothers broke down, Zhang Chu became more and more dissatisfied with Zhang Lan.
And this kid is naturally fearless, has extraordinary courage, and obeys Zhang Chuyan, as long as it is what Zhang Chu commands, he will do it with all his might.
The comparison between these two made Zhang Chu's brotherhood for Zhang Lan gradually shift to worrying about his life.
Judging from the fact that the two get along on weekdays, Zhang Chu does have a sense of brotherhood when he is worried about his life.
"I've come back from the Holy Volcano to see you."
He said softly to Wu Wufang:
"How did you learn your Heavenly Demon Silence Extinguishing Knife and Blood Sea Demon Skills?"
"Yes, progress."
Worried about his life is like a child who is checked by his parents, he reached out and picked up the evil at hand, and said to Zhang Chu:
"Brother, look at me, dancing knife?"
"It doesn't have to be."
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand to stop:
"I don't believe in life and won't lie to me. I came today because I have something to entrust to the lifeless, would you like to help me? ”
"Help!"
Worrying about his life, he put the magic knife back in place, and he said to Zhang Chu:
"Brother, command, I, do it with your heart."
"Well, it's a good boy."
Zhang Chu nodded with satisfaction, and he beckoned to Wu Wusheng, who carried the Blood Sea Demon Skill, which was much better than before, and walked up to the edge of the cave with light steps.
The magic power in the body operates, and all the blood stains on the body surface are stored.
The worries that were originally stained with blood on their bodies also became clean, and although they jumped out of the pool of blood, there was no trace of blood rushing to their noses.
Zhang Chu touched the emaciated child's head, and he said:
"I promised the Holy Fire Cult to help them find two people, but I have another important thing to do, so I asked you to assist those Holy Fire Cultists on my behalf.
I know that you are simple-minded, and I don't feel at ease when you go out alone, so I asked Uncle Bei Han to accompany you. ”
"Okay, Uncle Beihan, be good to me, willing to go."
Sorrowful nodded, and he said:
"Can you bring, but evil, together?"
"Absolutely."
Zhang Chu smiled and said:
"You alone have that knife to use, so make the most of it.
It's just that this time you can't be as reckless as last time in Suzhou, if you have a bad pool, you will listen to Yang Beihan.
By the way, help me deliver a letter to my brother who can't make it! ”
"Brother Zhang Lan?"
A hint of closeness flashed in his eyes, and he patted his skinny chest and assured:
"Definitely, delivered."
"Hmm."
Zhang Chu patted the worried shoulder, and he said softly:
"Whether the Heavenly Demon Silence Destroying Knife Method can be used well or not depends on the individual's perception of life and death. You don't have talent, you don't have a life, you just have less experience.
It would be a great thing if we could make up for the shortcomings. ”
"Hmm."
Wu Wuxian nodded.
Zhang Chu said a few more words to him, and then turned to leave.
When the young man saw his eldest brother leave, he turned around and jumped back into the pool of blood, and he reached out and stroked the evil knife that exuded a strange red glow, and he whispered:
"But evil, we can go out again.
I'll take you, find Shen Qiu, have a fight, compare knife skills, okay? ”
The magic knife was very quiet, except for the red light of the blade beating slightly.
It seems to be a response.
Wu Wuming listened attentively, so he nodded, and said to the magic knife in his hand:
"Okay, promise you.
When you encounter a strong enemy, you will be used again. ”
