Chapter 232: Skeleton Gatekeeper
The white bones in the canyon are naturally not used to scare people, but to hone and test. The evil qi emitted after the white bones gather will seriously affect the monk's primordial infant, making him temporarily unable to use his vitality.
The chain bridge doesn't lead to the end, it ends at the Snow Cloud Sculpture. The white cloud crane has a white crane and can continue to fly, which Shen Kuo did not expect at the beginning. As for Bai Luan's chic air catwalk, in the face of the no-fly formation, it still doesn't work.
Therefore, those who go to the bottom from the beginning gradually adapt to the influence of evil qi, and it is naturally much easier in the second half of the journey. Although Meng Yuan found the evil qi, he flew all the way after all. After discussing with Chen Yu, he felt that he couldn't move forward rashly.
During the period when Chen Yu recovered after "self-harm", he carefully disguised Meng Yuan into his own appearance. At first, Meng Yuan was very resistant, he couldn't stand this kind of self-harming disguise. Forehead... Then, he liked the way he looked after his disguise.
Since he didn't have Yi bones, he didn't need to recover, so he ordered Meng Xingzhou to collect a pile of white bones and gather evil qi to hone himself. This process is naturally very painful, after all, there is a significant difference between boiling frogs in warm water and deep-frying frogs.
Of course, this enjoyment is inevitable for Meng Xingzhou.
Sure enough, as the two had guessed, at the end of the canyon, the gatekeeper appeared. This gatekeeper is somewhat special because it is neither a human nor a demon, but a skeleton made of a pile of white bones.
The skeleton keepers, with the exception of the head, are made up of scattered white bones. The skull is not a humanoid skull, but resembles a cow's skull. It is more than ten zhang long, and its eye sockets exude a sinister aura, and a pair of horns retain their original appearance.
Meng Yuan saw that the three True Immortals who had entered earlier had joined forces with Yang Qing to fight with them. The White Cloud Crane watched from the sidelines, as if waiting for an opportunity.
As a gatekeeper, his strength is naturally not bad, although he can't see the realm, but he can deal with the four true immortals without being at a disadvantage, and his strength is at least the peak of the true immortal realm.
Interestingly, this skeleton keeper is quite resistant to beating. It can be said that not being afraid of the five elements belongs to the nightmare of Dharma cultivation. The only thing that can stop it is to break up the skeleton, but after it is scattered, he will reassemble the bones. There is a gap in the back of it, and it is clear that if you break through it, you will pass it.
Then, the opportunity that the White Cloud Crane was waiting for was probably the gap between the reorganization of the skeleton gatekeeper when it was broken up, and he flew in on the White Crane. However, Meng Yuan was a little worried about him, because he believed that there must be a very thick evil qi in the cracks. If you don't go step by step, it will be difficult to adapt to the influence of evil qi for a while.
Yang Qing knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die, so he ordered everyone to concentrate on attacking the leg bones of the skeleton guards. Shen Qingluan held the Iron Birch Horn Bow and fired three arrows in a row to interfere. The skeleton keeper struck the arrow with a swung left and right, but the third arrow stumbled into its right eye socket.
Seeing this, Yang Qing struck with all his strength and broke up the bone of his right leg. The other three repairs work together to break up the left leg bone. The skeleton keeper fell to the ground, and the massive bull's skull fell down.
The white cloud crane took the opportunity to fly into the gap behind the white crane, however, not long after entering, his wailing voice was heard. To add insult to injury, a white bone array appeared on both sides of the gap, and a jagged anterior jaw bone of the wing clan suddenly pierced out, and a piece of Baiyun Crane's flesh was cut off. Fortunately, the white crane exerted his strength and escaped in the white bone array.
Meng Yuan was shocked and exclaimed: "What a powerful beast bone array, such a spiritual white crane!"
Chen Yu disagreed, and said contemptuously: "He Baiyun Crane is nothing when he leaves Baihe." ”
"If only I had such a white crane. Meng Yuan sighed and looked at the snow cloud carving, but found that the snow cloud sculpture had slipped away. Meng Yuan laughed angrily, and said helplessly: "Slipped away so fast." ”
But the Fire Spirit Spear stepped forward to show that it was loyal. Meng Yuan stroked it and said with a smile: "You are more spiritual than that white crane." ”
With the experience of Baiyunhe, Yang Qing and the others did not dare to enter rashly. Seeing that the skeleton keeper was about to stand up again, a sword cultivator clenched his fists and said with determination: "Senior Brother Ke, fight." After saying that, he walked away, but he didn't perform the miracle of the white cloud crane, and finally died inside.
Ke Yuanzhou saw the tragic situation of his senior brother, and slashed at the bull's skull with a sword. However, the bull's skull is very hard, and his attack is like tickling. Seeing that the skeleton guards had gathered the white bones again and stood up, Ke Yuanzhou sighed and retreated.
Yang Qing wanted to try again, but the skeleton guards rushed at him, and in desperation, he retreated with Shen Qingluan in his arms.
Seeing this, Meng Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched. Chen Yu teased: "Tsk... What a fairy couple!"
"Hmph, dog man and woman!" Meng Yuan scolded.
Chen Yu came to Meng Yuan's side and teased: "You're not right." When ordinary people encounter that kind of situation, how can they care about any woman. It is already rare that he can bring Shen Qingluan out. ”
"Hmph, I'm here, do you need him to do it?"
"Then what are you still hiding here?"
"Are you stupid for me? Come forward at this time, even if I destroy it, I'm afraid you won't let me go, right?" Meng Yuan snorted coldly.
Chen Yu shook his head and sighed, "So far, why are you still so wary of me?"
"I believe in no one but myself. ”
"Oh, even Shen Qingluan is no exception, then why are you here?"
"Don't keep talking about me, you are cultivating the four realms of fellow practitioners, this kind of price, I'm afraid your family can't bear it, right?"
"I have my own way. ”
Meng Xingzhou saw that the two were arguing again, and reminded: "Don't fight, the white bones are piled up." ”
Chen Ming also persuaded: "Sister, let's find a way to save your life first!"
"There is a promising teacher, what are you afraid of?" Meng Yuan said.
"With your sister here, what are you afraid of?" Chen Yu said.
Meng Xingzhou looked at Chen Yu who was pretending to be his master, and Chen Ming also looked at Meng Yuan who was pretending to be his sister, and he really didn't know what to say.
At this embarrassing moment, Yang Qing withdrew with Shen Qingluan in his arms, found the four of them, and said angrily: "When do you want to see it?"
However, Shen Qingluan noticed the way Meng Yuan looked at her and realized that she was being held by Yang Qing and wanted to break free. Yang Qing scolded: "Enough, when do you still care about this?"
"Let go of her. Chen Yu pretended to be Meng Yuan.
"You're... Black Slaughter?" Yang Qing said in shock.
"I repeat, let her go. The last three words of Chen Yu were almost shouted.
Yang Qing let go of Shen Qingluan. Shen Qingluan hadn't seen Meng Yuan for a long time, and was a little excited, wanting to hug him, but was pushed away by Chen Yu and scolded: "Slut!"
This sentence of slut scolded Shen Qingluan a little confused, his eyes swept over the fake Chen Yu, and then slapped the real Chen Yu in the face. Angry: "Do you want me to die to be happy?"
Meng Yuan secretly transmitted the voice of Chen Yu, and said in the well: "You deserve it!"
Chen Yu was a little caught off guard by a slap, according to her idea, shouldn't Shen Qingluan be desperately trying to explain? How dare he hit "him"?
Zhen Mengyuan stepped forward, took Shen Qingluan's hand, and said comfortingly: "Sister Qingluan, why bother with this kind of person, the more angry you are, the happier she is." ”
Shen Qingluan secretly pinched Meng Yuan's waist, twisted it at three hundred and sixty degrees, and said: "Naturally, I won't worry about her, but my sister is a little confused, how did my sister get with her?"
Yang Qing smelled the strong smell of gunpowder in the air, thought that he already understood, and arched his hand to the fake Meng Yuan: "I am here to protect me on the order of the princess." Now, now that you're here, I'm halfway there. ”
"And what's the other half?" Chen Yu asked.
"Naturally, it is to help Qingluan Daoyou seize the opportunity. ”
When Chen Yu heard this, he laughed in his heart, but he didn't ask anything more. The skeleton gatekeeper in the back returned to the gap after chasing and killing a true immortal. Ke Yuanzhou had a good life and escaped. It's just that his expression is solemn, and it is obvious that escaping death is not something to be happy about. Because, with this skeleton gatekeeper here, his life is only deposited.
As the sun set and night fell, everyone decided to take a break for a while. Shen Qingluan and fake Chen Yu look like sisters. Although Yang Qing had doubts about this, he still laughed it off. Perhaps, he thinks that women are always women!
Meng Yuan talked about him pretending to be a woman and Chen Yu pretending to be a man, and after Shen Qingluan heard it, he kept teasing Meng Yuan just like the first meeting. Meng Yuan was also helpless about this, and warned her not to be too "enthusiastic", so as not to be discovered. Shen Qingluan felt that this trip was too dangerous, and the longer Meng Yuan's identity was concealed, the better. Therefore, if you go to the fake Meng Yuan, everyone is a woman anyway, so there is no need to be taboo.
Meng Yuan picked up a piece of white bone, walked to Yang Qing's side, handed it to him, and explained: "There is a lot of evil qi in the gap, you can get used to it first, and it will be easier to break through later." ”
Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Iron Lady is proficient in the art of disguise, but I didn't expect her true appearance to be so charming." It's just, I'm curious, what about the black-shirted nun before?"
"Ben Xian killed her. ”
"It seems that the Iron Lady is not only steel and iron bones, but also iron and stone. Thank you for the evil thing, but you and I don't agree with each other, so it's better to keep some distance. ”
Chen Yu saw that Meng Yuan was deflated, and teased: "Yang Xianyou is not right to say this. I've also seen the woman in the black shirt, she relies on a scarf to cover her ugliness, and she really doesn't have any appearance. Looking at Chen Yu Xianyou again, not only has a good appearance, but also has a strong strength. If anyone marries an immortal couple, it is really a blessing for three lives!"
Shen Qingluan knew the inside story, leaned into Chen Yu's ear, and whispered, "You are too narcissistic." ”
After hearing this, Chen Yu hugged Shen Qingluan, "Sister Qingluan doesn't need to worry, even if she Chen Yu favors me, I won't give up on you." ”
Meng Yuan looked at "him" and said coldly: "This immortal favors you, unless the water of the Li River flows backwards." ”
Early the next morning, the monks who walked the white bone path were basically all there. Ke Yuanzhou told the story of the skeleton keeper in detail. In the end, some smart people proposed that the reason why the white bones could attack was because of the existence of spirit runes.
So, here's the problem, if you want everyone to pass, you have to destroy the runes. The cultivators brainstormed and discussed the location of the runes. Yang Qing saw them talking nonsense and reminded: "In the skull." ”
Some of the cultivators were unhappy with him, and said sourly: "Even if it's in the skull, do you know the specific location?"
Shen Qingluan stood up and said, "I shot it in the right eye socket, and after that, it lost control for a short time. I guess the rune is there. ”
"Hmph, a female streamer, how can you speak here. As soon as he finished speaking, he was proposed by Chen Yu to educate.
After coming back, Chen Yu pretended to be Meng Yuan's tone and maintained: "My woman, it's not your turn to talk more. ”
After Shen Qingluan heard this, he looked at Meng Yuan and said, "Look at others, how much they care about me." ”
"Then you're okay with her. Meng Yuan replied.
Shen Qingluan was so angry that he stepped on him, glared at him, and said, "The guy who doesn't understand the amorous feelings." ”
The location of the spirit rune has been confirmed, and the person who will go is a problem. After all, it's too dangerous to get into the head, and if you're not careful, you'll die. After a "friendly" election, Chen Yu became a recognized "warrior" by all cultivators.
Meng Yuan gloated, and said: "It's good to go, don't send it!"
Chen Yu smiled and didn't refuse, but he had to take Meng Yuan with him. Under the "enthusiastic" flattery of the cultivators, Meng Yuan had no choice but to go.
