Drizzle and fog.

On the Centipede Ridge, the grass and trees are deep.

I always felt that the second master had something to hide, and I didn't want to tell us.

Now, at last, he has confided in us what he knows.

Unexpectedly, the camel turned out to be because he had no children under his knees, and he ruined his adopted daughter Xiaoling. Attempts to let adopted daughters take the place of wives and give them offspring.

This terrible thought is simply chilling to hear.

The most important thing is that the tragic scene under the stone bridge, Xiaoling's death, I still remember it vividly, as if it was in front of me.

I never imagined that a single mind could be distorted to such an extent.

"It's also blame that I let the camel go at that time, if I tried my best to catch him, and then let him tell his crime in person, and then hand it over to Xiaoling to deal with, maybe not so many things would have happened."

"I killed Xiaoling, she obviously told me what happened to her, but I couldn't do anything about it. I killed the innocent villagers in the village......" At the end, two lines of tears flowed from the second master's cloudy eyes, and his voice was full of guilt and self-blame.

"Second master, you don't have to blame yourself too much, you did your best at that time. The villagers won't blame you, you've done enough for them. Yan Xiaoying supported the second master, and while crawling towards the top of Centipede Ridge, she comforted her.

"Nope! Xiaoling, she must blame me, so she didn't see me at all before, and when she knew I was coming, she left immediately! The second master said sadly.

When I heard this, I suddenly realized that the fake Liu Xiaojiao suddenly left by directing and acting, because she was afraid of meeting the second master.

After all, the second master is profound, and if he meets her, the former must have a way to see through it.

In this way, Xiaoling, who has become a water fish, is not completely emotionless.

At least from the fact that she deliberately avoided the second master and did not meet her, it can be seen that she still has some awe of the second master.

From what the second master just said, we can already deduce the whereabouts of the camel couple and his wife.

The camel was greedy for money, and he had been coveting the treasures in the mountain tomb, and now that this kind of thing happened, he could no longer stay in the local area, so he wanted to take the treasure into the mountain tomb and fly away.

If he gets the treasure in the mountain tomb, even if he doesn't work as a coffin bearer for the rest of his life, his life will be worry-free.

It's just that to our surprise, people like her.

When he ran away, he actually took his wife with him, and it seems that he is not ruthless and unrighteous to his wife......

Of course, he left with his wife, perhaps for a special reason.

I kept saying that the mountain tomb, and the second master said before that the flying centipede came out of the mountain tomb, which made me curious.

"Second master, what treasures do you say are in the mountain tomb? They let the bandits go one after another, and now the camels choose to enter it regardless of the danger. ”

"I don't know the details, I only heard the older generation say that there is a demon general buried in the Centipede Ridge Mountain Tomb!"

"Demon general? What magic generals? ”

"I don't know!"

The second master shook his head and said, "But my junior brother should know some things, that is, the one who entered the Heavenly Secret Realm with the people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion in the first place. At the beginning, he had been in retreat on Centipede Ridge for several years, and his soul banner had collected countless soul-defying objects. With that Soul Flag, he was enough to compete with the elders of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and even I was no match for him. ”

"You mean that muttering magic thing, most of the Yin Spirit Souls in his Soul Summoning Banner are collected here?" My face was full of surprise.

"Yes, this is not a mass grave, where are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts to subdue him? So I think most of the Yin Spirits in his Soul Banner come from inside the mountain tomb. In other words, he once entered the mountain tomb, but I don't know how he survived the flying centipede? ”

The second master shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that since the death of the master, the relationship between the two of us has not been harmonious, otherwise, we can ask him to help us at this time." ”

"I'm ashamed to say that although I started earlier than him, my talent is dull, and my Taoism is not as deep as his!"

I remembered the scene when I confronted him in the secret realm of heaven, and later his conjuring banner was taken by the resurrected Celestial Master, and most of the unjust souls contained in it were devoured by the latter.

Even if he escapes from the secret realm of heaven, he probably won't come, right?

It's too late for him to hate me now, so how can he come to help?

"As for what treasures are in the mountain tomb, I've heard people mention this, but I don't know if it's true or not."

The second master paused and then said: "Actually, this news was told to me by the camel when he asked me to go into the mountain tomb together, he said: There is a panacea in the tomb, which can make people stay young forever; It can improve people's morality; It can make people immortal......"

"Panacea, eternal youth, immortality? That's even more than a legend, right? Second master, do you believe such nonsense? ”

"Naturally, I don't believe it!"

The second master smiled bitterly: "Our mage is a fusion of the heads of many families, and he can be regarded as half a cultivator, not to mention that he is a camel, even my master has never mentioned to me that the elixir can help people practice." The old man only told us that we should be down-to-earth, have a solid foundation, and go down step by step, and as for which step we go, it is completely up to our personal creation. ”

"So, that's one of the reasons I turned him down in the first place. But later, my junior brother was in retreat here, and his cultivation became more and more sophisticated, and I believed it a little, maybe that elixir could not make people stay young and immortal, but I am afraid that it was also more effective than ordinary elixir, otherwise why could the flying centipede cultivate into refinement? ”

"I suspect that it only became so powerful after absorbing the essence of Dan Qi in the mountain tomb."

"If there really is such a divine object in the mountain tomb, it is absolutely priceless to take it out." Yan Xiaoying said.

"That's why the camel is obsessed with this mountain tomb."

However, rumors are always rumors, and no one knows what secrets are hidden in the mountain tomb without seeing it with their own eyes. Moreover, what you see with your own eyes may not be true. Perhaps the tomb was stolen by bandits decades ago! The second master shook his head.

"In that case, how did you know the secret of the Yellow Spring Water?" I asked the second master curiously.

"Naturally, I learned by deduction, but the person who deduced it was not me, but another senior, and now he has gone to the crane immortal."

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Ying, the two of you must remember that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the sky, no matter how powerful your strength is in the future, don't forget this, you must always be vigilant and not complacent!"

"Got it!" Yan Xiaoying and I nodded and were taught.

"What did that senior master say?" I asked curiously.

"The truth didn't say anything, he passed by our village occasionally, and when he looked at the topography of our village, he said, 'This village will have a great disaster in the future.'"

"At that time, I had just become a mage and I didn't pay attention to his words, but I was very curious, and asked him, 'Where did the disaster come from?'

"The master smiled, pointed to the mountain behind the village and said: 'Double dragons take the pearl, monsters make trouble, a wisp of yellow spring enters the world, and there is no peace in the village from now on.'" ”

After he said this, he turned his head and left, I heard it inexplicably, so I wanted to catch up and ask for an understanding, but I didn't expect the man to walk so fast, as if shrinking into inches, and disappeared in just a few steps. It was only then that I knew that I had met an immortal senior master. ”

"Shrinking into inches? Is there really such a profound person in the world? Yan Xiaoying and I both looked surprised.

"The world is so big, there are many capable people, some predecessors are masters, even if they are as prosperous as the Heavenly Master's Mansion, they don't dare to provoke easily, the best example is the mountain god Niangniang who suddenly came out of nowhere in five hundred years, and even the three heavenly masters are not their opponents."

The second master said, glanced at me and said: "Everyone only knows that she is the princess of Baiyue, but they don't know where her skills come from, and her life experience is a mystery. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and then spread my hands and was silent.

"Don't talk about it from afar, just say that the old woman who is guarding Xilu Temple, do you say that she is an ordinary person? If you are an ordinary person, how dare you live alone in the mountains? ”

"It's a pity that the leaves turn into dust, no matter how powerful a person is, in the end, he still can't escape the cycle of life and death; No matter how powerful a character he was in life, in the end he was just a handful of loess. ”

While we were talking, we had unconsciously waited for the top of Centipede Ridge, and I had already told the second master and Yan Xiaoying before about the battle between the flying centipede and the golden rooster.

But when the two of them saw the mess on the top of the mountain, they couldn't help but show surprise.

"Be careful, the poisonous gas on the top of the mountain has not completely dissipated, the poison of the flying centipede is very powerful, if ordinary people inhale it directly, they will be killed in an instant."

The second master said, turned over and took out three Zhu Dan, one each for me and Yan Xiaoying, and said: "This pill is called Qingning Dan, hold it in your mouth, don't swallow it, it can block the poisonous gas from entering the body." Although this pill is not as magical as the Gu Clan's Bailing Pill, it is also a rare thing. ”

I took the pill from the second master's hand, stuffed it into my mouth without hesitation, and patted my ass: "Second master, you really don't show your face, I didn't expect to refine the pill, this is the case, you will also accept me as an apprentice after going down the mountain, right?" ”

The second master glared at me, and said angrily: "When I was doing things for people in the Heaven Reservoir, I said that I wanted to accept you as an apprentice, but you were not happy, how can you change sex now?" ”

I touched my head and said embarrassedly: "The kid was clumsy at the time, I didn't know that you were always a senior master." Besides, you also know that we are mountain guards, and the old man disappeared without passing on any skills to me, and I, the mountain guard, can be said to be the weakest. I don't have any skills, I'm afraid of being made fun of! ”

The second master shook his head and said, "At the beginning, I was just joking, besides, let's talk about this later!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and frowned after half a sound: "The poisonous fog below gathers and does not disperse, and there are faint colors between the poisonous gases, which may be the essence of the Dan Qi leaked from the mountain tomb." It seems that the old lair of the centipede is below, and the entrance to the mountain tomb is also very likely to be below. ”

"Xiao Ying, Xiao Yan, get ready, let's go down from here. As for Xiao Jiao'er, she was caught by the flying centipede, and now she is probably more than lucky. We're going down this time to catch the camel, and it's best not to get into any other unnecessary trouble......"
