Chapter 49: The Fourth Layer

"Well, it's not good to be beaten passively. Hahaha~~! Yin Que laughed, "I really want to thank that governor, I really took out a bad breath for me!" ”

When he was a child, Yin Que never beat Xiao Yao, whether it was spells or fists and feet, only the part of being beaten, now there is someone who can defeat Xiao Yao, Yin Que is very happy, he feels that the governor is still very reliable.

As they spoke, the two of them came to the fourth floor, only to be startled by the sudden darkness in front of them.

The tower was dark at this time, I really couldn't see my fingers, I couldn't even see the little white teeth, and some light could faintly be seen from the fifth floor, but since the two of them went down to the fourth floor, the light on the fifth floor disappeared.

Yin Que took out a talisman, threw it forward, and then knotted the handprint, the talisman suddenly shone brightly, but it only illuminated a place of about one meter around, and the rest of the place was still extremely dark.

"There are windows around, huh? Even at night, there is still moonlight, it can't be so dark, right? It's weird. Yin Que was very strange, "Is there something strange here?" ”

"Leave it alone, let's take a look."

Xiao Yao patted Yin Que, and the two of them immediately walked forward, and the light spell above their heads also moved forward with the two of them, always staying at a position of about a foot above their heads.

The Light Spell is a kind of auxiliary spell that can dispel some harmful gases such as yin qi, barrier qi, poisonous gas, etc., but the effect can only be said to be average, far less than the effect of the red pill, so ordinary cultivators only use it to illuminate it, as a high-end version of the flashlight.

The two of them walked for a long time, uh, it felt like they had been walking for a long time, because it was pitch black all around, and neither of them had a watch or a phone with them, so they could only rely on feeling.

"Why can't we reach the end of it? Is this floor so big? ”

Xiao Yao frowned, muttering as he walked.

"Even if it's bigger than the fifth layer, it's not that big."

Yin Que whispered.

"It can't be a ghost hitting the wall, right?"

"What kind of ghost hits the wall, can there be ghosts hitting the wall in Longhu Mountain? What the hell does that have to be? ”

"How can that be? Why don't we turn a corner? ”

"Hmm~~ Okay."

So the two turned ninety degrees to the left and continued to walk forward. ……

Outside the tower, a group of disciples are still struggling to support, the little heavenly master Yu'an is sweating profusely, but he still insists, although the rest of the old Taoist priests on the formation are calm and relaxed, but their foreheads are also slightly sweaty.

The five people in the Star Array are still meditating, never changing their postures, Monk Wanquan is still chanting, and the Heavenly Master is also meditating, but he will look up at the tower from time to time.

Just now, a faint light flashed on the fifth layer, and the Heavenly Master's tightly knit brows also stretched with this light, but then furrowed again.

"It seems that they have passed through the fifth layer, but the fourth layer ......," the Celestial Master muttered to himself.

"Senior brother, what are you talking about? What happened to the fourth floor? The head of Wudang, who was sitting on the right hand side of the Heavenly Master, heard what the Heavenly Master said about the fourth layer, so he asked.

"Little junior brother, they have successfully broken through the fifth layer, and now they are on the fourth layer, but the fourth layer is ...... Alas! The Celestial Master sighed.

"Senior brother, what's on the fourth floor?" The head of Qingcheng Mountain asked.

"Shadow Demon." The Celestial Master opened his mouth and spat out two words, followed by another sigh.

"Shadow Demon?!" The other four were also surprised.

"But the shadow demon?" Monk Wanquan was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"That's right," the Celestial Master nodded, "It's that shadow demon." ”

"This~~!" The master was silent, but kept reciting the scriptures as if he were reading them for someone.

"Senior brother, this shadow demon is really the one that Zhang Daoxian caught back then?" The head of Qingcheng Mountain asked with his eyes glared.

The Heavenly Master nodded helplessly.

"Originally, this shadow demon was going to be placed on the fifth layer, but not just for some reason, the ancestor put it on the fourth layer, and the fifth layer has been vacant, knowing the appearance of the Haotian Mirror."

The old heavenly master has never understood why the shadow demon is in the fourth layer, according to the rules, the higher the magic weapon, the more powerful it will be, the shadow demon can be said to be outstanding, and it is also very rare, but maybe this mystery is only known to Zhang Daoxian himself, but future generations can only guess blindly.

"Alas~~ I hope Senior Brother Yin Que doesn't light that lamp!"

Everyone thought of it in their hearts.

This shadow demon was found in the col when Zhang Daoling settled in Longhu Mountain, when Zhang Daoling stood in the position of the current Heavenly Master's Mansion, he was still a mountain tip, and found a mountain col, even when the scorching sun was in the sky, this mountain col still could not shine brightly, the yang qi was weak, and the yin qi was soaring, Zhang Daoling was curious and went to the mountain col.

The col is extremely dark due to the obscuration of trees and vegetation, and there is a faint yin qi coming out, Zhang Daoling frowned slightly and thought, "This mountain has a hidden image of a dragon and a tiger, why is there such a col filled with yin qi?" Could it be that this kind of demon cultivator? ”

Zhang Daoling thought about it and decided to continue to go deep into the mountain col to see who the monster was doing.

When I walked to the center, I found a big tree, unlike the others, it was a dead tree, and the vegetation around it was luxuriant, only this one was a dead tree, and it was all dead from the inside out, but the branches were intact, and no animals and plants dared to approach, and it was very abrupt to be bare.

At first, Zhang Daoling thought that this dead tree was the source of yin qi, that is, the spirit that cultivated into the essence, but it turned out that it was not, and in the end, Zhang Daoling found the real spirit, an oil lamp, a beautifully decorated oil lamp, the body of the lamp was carved with exquisite cloud patterns, and a Bi Fang.

Bi Fang, a sign of fire in ancient Chinese myths and legends, may have come from the crackling sound of bamboo and wood when burning. Bi Fang's appearance is a red-crowned crane, but it has only one leg, a blue body with red spots, and a white beak, and it is said that Bi Fang's appearance is a sign of a fire.

Zhang Daoling already understood why this tree died, and with Bi Fang in the trunk, it was already considered a mercy of God if the tree did not catch fire, so Zhang Daoling took the oil lamp home.

At night, Zhang Daoling lit the oil lamp, and he wanted to see what could exude the yin energy that affected the entire mountain pass.

After a while, Zhang Daoling didn't notice anything unusual, the lamp was quietly placed on the table, and a flame burned quietly from the wick, occasionally making a small crackling sound.

"Huh? Did I guess wrong? Is this just an ordinary oil lamp? Zhang Daoling said suspiciously.

At this time, it was getting late, so I simply ignored it, so I went to sleep, but the oil lamp was lit and not extinguished.

Late at night, the oil lamp in the house was still quietly on, suddenly the flame seemed to be blown by the wind, and then quickly quieted down, continued to burn, the room was full of all kinds of shadows, bamboo benches, bamboo tables, and human shadows, although ordinary, but always felt that these shadows seemed to be alive, and they were darker and deeper than usual. ……
