Chapter 18 Xiao Li and the Snake Cultivator
Qi Lu couldn't help but have a strange glint in his eyes, and said with a smile: "There are really people outside the forest, let's go and take a look." ”
The two of them cautiously walked out of this forest, and saw that in front of them was an empty valley with almost no grass, and about 20 meters in front of them stood a piece of pure black basalt nearly two meters high, which made people look very bald.
The demonic aura that Qi Lu was familiar with drifted over again, and then he heard the sound of cultivating snakes again. "Hurry up, I'm going to starve."
"Okay, wait a minute."
The demonic aura of cultivating the snake disappeared again, but Qi Lu and Lao Wu couldn't help but shudder, they found that the conversation between the two people actually came from the basalt rock.
Can't they hide in the stones? Qi Lu and Lao Wu hurriedly walked forward and circled to the front of the basalt.
It was only at this time that Qi Lu saw clearly that the front of this strange stone seemed to have been slashed by a knife in the void, and the entire cut surface was as smooth as a mirror. There is a stone door of the same color as the rock face on the stone face, and a small window on the upper right side.
It turned out that this was a hut disguised as a boulder, Qi Lu was shocked in his heart, and suddenly knew that this was definitely not a hut that could be built by manpower, it was very likely that it was a residence built by cultivating snakes with demonic power.
"Boom! Qiang ...... "At this time, there was a sound of knives chopping bones in the house, Qi Lu walked lightly to the stone gate, and then glanced at Lao Wu, who immediately hid to the side to cover for Qi Lu.
After a moment's hesitation, Qi Lu reached out and knocked on the stone knocker on the door.
As if frightened, the room fell silent. Qi Lu waited for a long time and didn't see anyone come out to open the door, so he pulled his throat and shouted, "We are passing donkey friends, is there anyone in the house?" ”
After shouting for a long time, there was no squeak in the house, Qi Lu realized that the situation was a little bad, and hurriedly signaled Lao Wu to come and open the door.
Lao Wu chuckled lightly and turned around from his hiding place, but it took a few seconds for the door to be opened by him, Qi Lu squeezed in and walked in, while Lao Wu continued to look at the wind outside the house.
Although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, and the situation in the house is the same, and there is almost no shortage of anything in the house of ordinary people, but there is no bed for sleeping. Qi Lu turned his head to see that the wild deer that was not yet completely * was stacked on the stove in the right corner, and a small square opening was chiseled above, which should be a vent used to drain oil smoke.
There was not even a figure in the house, Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised, guessing that Xiu Snake and the young man had quietly left while he was knocking on the door.
What made Qi Lu even more strange was that the stone walls in the house were carved with patterns of qins, which were arranged in regular groups, and each group had six musical instruments.
Qi Lu's eyes couldn't help but be attracted by these musical instrument patterns, and when he approached the wall to take a closer look, he immediately recognized the origin of these six musical instruments.
"Fungus head, Yifu, Pengming, Baimin, Jian Kai, hanging paint ......"
When he was still the crown prince Yanlong, he was the most proficient of the Kunlun gods, and these six immortal qins were the instruments he made when he met the prince of the Red Emperor Zhurong, Changqin, and later he passed them on to his son Si You, and asked him to play the fairy song to help Yaxing during the banquet of the gods.
Qi Lu couldn't help but look puzzled, he knew that snake cultivation was a big old man, and he didn't know anything about music theory. Since this stone house was built by it with demonic power, why did it carve the patterns of these artifacts on the wall, is it just a vassal elegance?
Just when Qi Lu guessed the intention of repairing the snake, he didn't notice that the stone door was silently closed behind him, and a figure hiding behind the door quietly approached him, raised the kitchen knife in his hand and slashed towards Qi Lu viciously!
As if he had eyes behind his back, Qi Lu suddenly turned around, and a spirit talisman in his hand had been thrown towards the person who attacked him!
But what is strange is that after the spirit rune hit the comer's head, it slipped to the ground silently. The young man's knife momentum was unabated, and he saw that the blade was about to fall on Qi Lu's face.
Qi Lu was taken aback, but immediately understood the reason. This is not because the attacker has a high level of mana, but this young man is simply an ordinary human being, so naturally he will not sense spells such as charms!
Fortunately, Qi Lu has experienced countless vicious battles and has rich experience, Rao is such a dangerous scene, and his brain reacted quickly, only to see him bend his waist, and his body has jumped to the right, although he is embarrassed, but he finally avoided this fatal blow.
When the knife-wielding man was about to slash Qi Lu again, his figure suddenly froze, and almost at the same moment, he and Qi Lu both shouted in unison, "Why are you!" ”
Qi Lu never dreamed that this young man was actually Xiao Li, a waiter at Shangri-La Hotel, and he couldn't help but shout: "Aren't you dead?" ”
"Fart, you're dead!" Xiao Li said a little annoyed, "Why are you here?" ”
"This sentence should be asked of you, right?" Qi Lu replied quietly, but his heart was like a churning river.
Xiao Li's body, which suddenly appeared, did not exude the slightest breath that was different from ordinary people, which further confirmed Qi Lu's judgment, he met a living person, such as Xiao Li, a waiter who was fake. And the Xiao Li he saw in the village before was just the incarnation of Meng Huai.
"This is a forbidden place for immortals that humans can't set foot in, how can you come here!" Xiao Li, who had regained his composure, looked at Qi Lu with an incredible look.
"Oh, aren't you mortal too? How can you get in? ”
"I'm not like you, I ......" Xiao Li suddenly closed his mouth, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a malicious smile. But this detail did not hide from Qi Lu's eyes, he had already sensed the demonic aura behind him.
But before Qi Lu could make a move, someone had already launched an attack on the sneak attacker before him.
I saw that the stone gate was kicked open by Lao Wu, who was waiting outside, and flew forward with him, and the short knife in his hand had been cut off at the skull of the person who was sneaking up!
The black shadow flickered in an instant, and it dodged the blade of Lao Wu and turned into a black mist and scattered away, and followed the demon mist to regather around Xiao Li, turning into the appearance of a snake cultivator and standing in front of him.
"Repair the snake, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Qi Lu said slowly: "Do you remember me? As he spoke, he noticed that a stone slab had been removed from the ground behind him, revealing a dark hole. Qi Lu was immediately relieved, no wonder he couldn't see the figure of the snake cultivator when he entered the house, it turned out that he was hiding in this hole.
"Burnt to ashes, I know you bastard!" The snake gritted his teeth and replied, glaring at Qi Lu with a fierce look in his eyes.
"How did you two get together?" Qi Lu sat down on the chair in front of the table with a big grin, as if he was the master of this room.
"What's your business!" Despite the rude language, Xiu Snake had a panicked look on his face, because he had seen Lao retreat to the door and block their retreat.
Qi Lu smiled and said, "You should know my style of doing things, if you can't satisfy my curiosity, I'm afraid you won't be at peace." ”
"It's fucking unlucky to run into you bastard everywhere." Suddenly, Xiu Snake's tone became urgent, "You bastard can be resurrected, so has Hou Yi also reappeared in the world?" ”
"I have never died, so how can I talk about resurrection?" Qi Lu asked rhetorically: "It's you, a monster killed by me, how could you be resurrected?" And in a place where it shouldn't be! ”
"I was inspired by the Emperor of Heaven to be resurrected!" A hint of consternation crossed Xiu Snake's face, but then he began to get angry again.
"That's a familiar answer." Qi Lu gave him a stern look, "Before coming to your dilapidated house, Gale and Chisel also said this to me. Do you also have the same situation as them? ”
"You've seen the wind and the chisel?" Xiu Snake's voice suddenly rose a few decibels, "Then why don't you go to Wonderland with them?" ”
"Oh, looks like you know about them." Qi Lu couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu, and then asked, "Can you tell me the details?" ”
"Then you have to tell me first, why didn't you go to Wonderland with them, but came here to disturb us?"
"Because they can't take me to Wonderland anymore."
"Why?"
"They are all dead, and it is common sense that the souls of the dead cannot reach the fairyland."
"Why are they dead again?" The snake cultivator's eyes were full of surprise, and then they became cold as frost. "You killed them, didn't you?"
"Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Lu saw that the demonic qi of the whole body of the snake cultivator suddenly exploded, and he suddenly shuddered, and suddenly felt that he was in an ice cave, and the cold qi came from his hand like a sharp blade.
Qi Lu secretly said that it was not good, and just as he was about to make a move, he saw a dazzling golden light passing by, like a meteor falling, even though the spell of cultivating the snake was powerful, but it was rushed by the light of the most powerful and yang, and the offensive disappeared in an instant. Needless to say, it was Lao Wu who took action to resolve the crisis in front of him.
"Damn, it looks like the sky is going to kill me!" Although the snake cultivator was scolding, he had no intention of retreating, but instead blocked his body in front of Xiao Li, who was trembling with fear.
Qi Lu couldn't help but secretly exclaim that he was surprised, he never thought that the brutal snake cultivator would care about the life and death of a human being. He was about to speak, but Lao Wu had already rushed to the front to block in front of everyone.
I saw him say to Xiu Snake with a smile on his face: "Don't you think it's a strange thing that we actually met in this ghost place?" Why don't we sit down and talk and explain each other's doubts? ”
"What is there to talk about with you executioners!" Xiu Snake said sharply: "You killed the chisel and the gale, come and clean me up now, so I won't fall for you." ”
"If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. I can swear to God that there has been no attempt to take your life so far. Qi Lu defended: "I'm just curious why you came alive and appeared here, is there any connection to this?" ”
"......" Xiu Snake hesitated, but did not answer.
"Your demonic power is a few grades worse than Gale and Chisel Teeth, it is easy to deal with you, I can't afford to talk to you here for a long time."
"Are you really here to kill me?"
"Yes, I just want to know the truth of the matter." Qi Lu said with a sincere smile: "We might as well forget about the past grievances and chat like a friend, how about it?" ”
Xiu Snake hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the opposite side of Qi Road, Lao Wu also sat down, and Xiao Li was a little panicked and poured tea for them.
They began to talk while drinking tea, and before they knew it, it was already the sun setting in the west, and it was afternoon.
