Chapter 123: Cowardly and Hard
The river flows endlessly, a leaf light boat, upstream.
The sky was bright, but the person who came was covered in a black robe, and no real traces were revealed. The river turned, and the boat left the river and headed for the tributaries.
The mountain walls are as smooth as a knife edge, reaching into the clouds. Between the two mountains, the water is murmuring, not as turbulent as in the river.
A fog gradually appeared in the air, the terrain became more and more precipitous, and the river channel in front of it gradually became narrower. The boat went up and slowly approached the shore, and in front of it was a cave in the belly of the mountain.
"Who's coming?"
Out of the obstacle came an old man who described decay, like a candle in the wind.
"In the lower division, I want to see the master of a thousand caves."
Shi Meng reported his name, and the old man didn't ask much, took out a lamp, and slowly walked behind him.
Shi Meng followed the light into the cave in the mountain. There are many forks in the cave, like a labyrinth, if there is no one to lead it, it is likely to get lost in it.
At the end of the road, the view suddenly opens up. In the cave, on the huge rock wall, countless small caves have been dug by hand, and there are statues of human heads of various colors placed in them.
Joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, and the scenery of the world can be reflected in it.
"Thousands of people, thousands of faces, thousands of cave masters!"
Shi Meng couldn't help but sigh lightly, causing a burst of playful abuse in the cave.
"A demon, why did you come to me?"
After a sentence is finished, every word is syllable, but it is full of the voices of men, women and children, which is weird and abnormal. At this time, Shi Meng had not taken off his black robe, and when he saw that his true body was detected, he no longer concealed it, and took off his black hood, revealing his true body.
"Kill one!"
"Who?"
"Yang Xian!"
When Shi Meng said the name, the playful voice was no more. In front of him, a figure slowly condensed.
The brown coat and hat cover the body, and the face seems to be hidden in the darkness forever, making it difficult to see. The figure in front of me is like a mirage in the mist, and if you are not careful, it may dissipate.
"You know my rules?"
"Whoever kills, offer something of equal value."
Shi Meng said indifferently and took out a golden bead from his sleeve.
"Demon God Blood Pill!"
The playful voice sounded again, but it was not from the figure, full of excitement and greed.
"Fun and fun! You took this out, so the Demon Emperor who was far away in the Demon Domain could let you go? ”
"Over the past hundred years, I have done so many things for the Demon Domain. Now, it's up to me to make my own decisions. ”
"It's a good thing, but it's a pity that I can't promise you this deal."
Shi Meng's voice became a little impatient, almost roaring.
"Thousand Cave Masters, as long as you are provided with something of equal value, you can kill anyone. Could it be that this Demon God Blood Pill is not worthy of Yang Xian's life? ”
"Of course not enough!"
The voice that was calm to the extreme resounded in Shi Meng's ears, like a cold wind in the middle of winter.
"When Yang Xian was still in his infancy, there were seventeen people who came to my cave to kill him. What do you think Yang Zhong died early, and Yang Chun, an old killer, has been silent for so many years? The dignified grandmaster, the first person in the army, nested in that small place in Yizhou, and stayed for nearly 30 years. He is to fulfill Yang You'an's dying wish and leave a trace of blood for his Yang family. ”
"Are you afraid of Yang Chun?"
A sarcastic voice sounded from Shi Meng's mouth. But before the words could land, a dagger was inserted into his heart from behind.
"You're upsetting me."
The blood-stained dagger was slowly pulled out, Shi Meng squatted on the ground all of a sudden, and looked at it reflexively, the Thousand Caves in front of him was the same as the phantom he saw just now, but now, it was an entity.
"You're not keeping your word."
"Sorry! The rules in my cave are only suitable for Zhou people, not demons. ”
"You!"
After speaking, Shi Meng closed his eyes and swallowed his last breath.
The Thousand Cave Cave Lord picked up the Demon God Blood Pill from the ground, admired it nearby, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a good thing!" ”
It's just that before the master of the thousand caves can appreciate it, the old man who led the lamp brought another person over.
"It's really a lively day!"
"In Xia Mengqing, I have seen the master of a thousand caves."
The person who came had a delicate face and an elegant posture, but it caused the master of the thousand caves to laugh.
"You don't want me to kill Yang Xian too, do you?"
Meng Qing glanced at the demons on the ground, understood something in an instant, and bowed.
"Naturally, I won't be so arrogant, and Liang Hou won't be so stupid."
"Did Huan Wu ask you to come?"
The Thousand Caves Cave Lord smiled, came to be interested, and asked.
"Yes! However, out of this cave, I will not admit it, and the future will naturally not be related to Liang Hou. ”
"You well-dressed gentlemen, it's a lot of fun to do. Do all the dirty things, but I just don't want to get a trace of muddy water. Go ahead! Whose life does Huan Wu want to buy? ”
"Tang Dafu!"
"That dead fat man? He has lived in seclusion in Dankou for so many years, how did he provoke Huan Wu? ”
"Tang Dafu didn't provoke Liang Hou, it's just that what he might do will provoke Liang Hou."
"If you can't use it, kill it immediately. It's really Huanwu's style! It's just that you should know my rules, and if you want to kill him, what can you give me? ”
Meng Qing took out a dagger from his sleeve and said, "This is a secret thing in the Liang Hou Mansion, and the name of the sword is Hanguang." ”
The Thousand Cave Cave Master took the cold light from Meng Qing's hand and looked at the young man in front of him.
"Liang Hou is really generous! used this to buy Tang Dafu's life, and cheapened the dead fat man. Let's go! I said yes. ”
"Then thank you Cave Master! In the next farewell! ”
As Meng Qing's figure disappeared into the cave, the Thousand Cave Master took off the hood of his coat, and the green silk slid down, revealing a delicate face.
"Woe to you, woe to you."
A loud grinning voice sounded, and a man with a big belly walked out from the side, breaking the somewhat mysterious atmosphere in the thousand caves.
"Dead fatty, do you know now?"
The Thousand Cave Masters let out a coquettish voice and glanced at Tang Dafu dissatisfied.
"I've told you, Yang Xian is recruiting Chengtian Daoists in Jingzhou, disaster is coming, let you prepare early, but you don't believe it. The grievances between the Huan and Yang families are also something you can reconcile? ”
"Xiao Cui! Don't make fun of me now. Let's talk about it! What now? ”
Tang Dafu, as one of the Eight Truths, has been able to get away with the world for so many years, in addition to being hard, another necessary condition is to be very cowardly.
He had long known about Yang Xian's recruitment of Jingzhou Daoists, but Tang Dafu didn't want to get involved. The national feud between Liang and Shu, the family feud between Huan and Yang, and now there are demons mixed in it. He didn't want to get caught up in this big quagmire and not be able to get out of it.
"Death!"
