Chapter Fifty-Six: Vicious Dog Ridge
The road ahead is unknown, but we have to keep walking, and the fog around us constantly reminds us of how much danger there is in this valley.
It was still the master who took the lead, and I was caught in the middle, and my senior brother Jia Daoren was postponed.
We stepped into the white mist, the inexplicable yin qi kept swirling around us, and it was strange that the valley that had not stopped at all just now was surprisingly quiet, as if there was nothing, and the silence made me panic.
"Master, are we going to go out soon? Otherwise, why does this place seem to become clean in an instant? ”
"How can it be as simple as you kid think? Just the calm before the storm. Master didn't look back, as if he was preparing for any emergency.
As Master said, it didn't take long for something to happen.
"Boom...... ......"
"Brother Xiaojiu, be careful, the front is not right, there seems to be something around in all directions."
The fog around me made it impossible for my eyes to see clearly, but there were faint shadows swaying around me, coming and going, and we didn't know what they were.
Just when we were on full guard, suddenly rushed from that side, a figure quickly approached, and then pounced, it was actually a big dog several feet high, as strong as a calf, it looked terrifying and unusually it pounced on us fiercely!
The master reacted quickly, his hand rose and fell, and he slashed down extremely quickly, and the big dog actually knew how to dodge, dodged the front edge, broke through at once, and escaped back into the white mist.
"Oh no, could this be Vicious Dog Ridge?" Master said with a frown.
The so-called Vicious Dog Ridge, that is, a place of legend in the underworld, legend that after the death of a person first through the land temple registered, and then enter the Huangquan Road, ascend the Wangxiang Terrace, after leaving the Wangxiang Terrace is the Vicious Dog Ridge, this Vicious Dog Ridge is all evil dogs blocking the way, this dog is not a real dog, it is the resentment condensed by the tragic death of the animals in the underworld, so it does not belong to the Three Realms and Six Paths, if the person who passes through is to love the dog before his death, he walks on the flat ground when he passes here, if he kills the dog before his death, kills the dog, or abuses the dog, it is difficult to move an inch, and even the evil dog makes a five dog corpse, Therefore, in ancient times, after people died, they carried a dog beating stick in their hands and grabbed dog food, in order to successfully cross the evil dog ridge.
And these giant dogs that were bred in the yin qi in front of him may be the appearance of the Vicious Dog Ridge.
"Master, shall we continue to walk or go back now?"
"Senior Brother Xiaojiu, we can't go back now, you can understand it later." Senior Brother Jia Daoren smiled bitterly and pointed to the back.
The back looked like countless pairs of eyes staring at us, and I felt hairy at first glance, and there were more dogs in the back than in the front, and I don't know when I sneaked around the back.
"Go on, these brutes seem to be afraid of what we have in our hands, be careful!"
After the master finished speaking, he took the lead and continued to move forward, and I looked at Jia Daoren, he was already covered in bruises, and now he was still holding the Xuanwu knife, but the hand holding the knife was a little trembling, I saw him like this and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, you are fine, right?" Can you still walk?! ”
"Brother Xiaojiu, I'm not so fragile, I am full of grinding, and the way of heaven is also." Jia Daoren said and shook his head with a wry smile.
After a little bit of progress, I realized that, in fact, except for the initial temptation, the vicious dogs were actually just surrounding us, and whenever we moved forward, they would retreat on their own, only the back and side did not move at all, as if they had been surrounding us, as if they were slowly leading us somewhere.
"Master, the situation is not right, it seems that we are being led into some kind of trap, so is it okay to continue walking?"
"Presumably it was the hands and feet of that demon boy again, who dared to play with the Xuanmen Taoist like this, and also made a netherworld, I am really not afraid of retribution." Master snorted coldly and continued to move forward.
I was a little strange and was about to ask, but Jia Daoren in the back said: "Senior Brother Xiaojiu, in fact, the uncle you said knows it, but, but if you think about it, that demon boy has the confidence to lead us forward, he must have his own ability to ensure that we will not leave, you just look at these dry grass on the ground, you can understand, we are now getting deeper and deeper, the best way is to continue to move forward, leave here as soon as possible, and even if you get on Jiulong Mountain, you will escape." ”
I look at the ground, the dead grass is yellow, and the roots look like they are spinning and rising, which means that the resentment here is extremely deep, and the deep resentment means that there are a lot of dry bones buried under this land, and the resentment gathers, the yin and yang are not in harmony, and the resentment gathers but does not disperse, which may be the source of the white mist, and the more in this kind of place, the deeper our Dao is restricted.
No wonder I felt like I couldn't even lift the peachwood sword just now, I thought it was because of the fatigue of the past few days, and some physical exhaustion, but now it seems that I am actually limited by the resentment here.
Not long after I left, I suddenly heard a voice in front of me.
"Boom...... When your time of death comes, you still want to oppose me, it's really overwhelming! ”
The sound was as loud as a bell hitting the top, and it exploded directly in our ears, and the demon boy seemed to have finally led us somewhere, and now it was revealed to laugh at us.
As soon as I heard his voice, I felt that there was a fork in the road, and when I thought of this, I yelled loudly: "You have the ability, don't always hide, come out and fight with us, and see if it is my Xuanmen who is authentic and powerful, or you are crooked and evil." ”
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Ah...... Master spare your life! ”
At this time, two big chestnuts were rewarded on the head without warning, and I hurriedly hugged my head and squatted on the ground.
"What are you in a hurry? Can't see it yet? He just used the resentment here to provoke us, the Xuanmen cultivation is pure, but now he wants us to not be pure in our hearts, and then slowly torture us with these animals, making us feel fear and pain, this is really a poisonous strategy, don't mess with yourself! Master reprimanded me.
I replied with some grievances: "Master, will you still cultivate Qingjing?" ”
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
After three more strokes, I had just stood up, and now I squatted back again, accompanied by Master's words...... "You don't have a long memory, do you say that about your master?!" ”
In the end, it was Jia Daoren who helped me up, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Xiaojiu, why do you want to offend Uncle Shi at this time, let's deal with the things in front of you first, otherwise you will have to be beaten." ”
"Don't pay attention to anything else for a while, no matter what hallucinations you see, don't be confused, just follow me all the way forward, understand?" The master said a very serious word in front of him, and then he had already grasped the Xuantie heavy sword in his hand.
We are now at the end of the crossbow, and I can't help but feel a little numb in my scalp in the face of the menacing dogs, and as soon as we started running, the vicious dogs pounced on us, and while biting, they were like big tigers and wanted to kill us.
The master opened the way in front, Jia Daoren stopped the behind, and I held a peachwood sword to protect the left and right wings.
I don't know why these vicious dogs seem to be huge, but they don't seem to be as powerful as the previous water ghosts, not to mention compared to the demon corpses, this gap seems to be too big, as the old saying goes, there must be demons when things go wrong, I have always been cautious, and I dare not trespass.
The vicious dogs on both sides are not entities, as soon as my peachwood sword is inserted, it will be reduced to nothing, otherwise such a group of vicious dogs, how can we stop it? The vicious dogs look at the actions as if they want to tear us to pieces, as if they have the enmity of the eight generations of our ancestors.
At this moment, Jia Daoren shouted: "It's not good, this place seems to be a fantasy ......"
