Chapter 157: Nine-Layer Jiao Palace
Looking at the clouds and mist in front of me, as well as the deep valley where there was no way to find, I was in trouble for a while, and turned my head to Senior Zhang Xuan and asked, "Senior Zhang, how do we find the entrance to the underground cliff?" Earlier, in order to find the entrance, our group was lured by a demon not far ahead, causing my master, Uncle Hu, and five catties to fall into the cracks in the ground. Life and death are uncertain......"
"Well, this place used to be a floating land, and there are roads to be found in all directions, but the Jiao Cave is a hundred zhang deep, and after so many years of changes, the original passages in all directions are now mostly blocked." Senior Zhang Xuan glanced around, then pointed to the deepest part of the valley and said, "Since we want to enter the underground cliff, we must find a feasible passage, and the entrance in front of us can lead directly to the Cutting Cliff. But there are also many dangers, two dogs, you have to be careful! ”
As he spoke, without waiting for me to reply, I saw Zhang Xuan's predecessor's figure disappear in place in a flash, and reappeared, already at the end of the deep valley. I hurried to the front, and sure enough, I saw a hidden cave entrance at the foot of the mountain. It seems that no one has been in or out of this place for a long time, and the entrance of the cave is full of messy grass and trees, and if you don't come to it, you can't see that there is such a passage here.
It's just that the hole is very narrow, and it doesn't seem to be very deep. I hesitated for a moment and asked Senior Zhang Xuan, "Senior Zhang, can this place really lead to the Cutting Cliff?" ”
"That's nature." Senior Zhang Xuan nodded, and then said: "Don't look at this entrance so small, in fact, there is no cave in it, and I can tell you accurately, there have been Jiao in and out of here!" After speaking, Zhang Xuan's predecessor's figure flashed, and he disappeared without a trace. I was stunned, and I looked around, thinking that Zhang Xuan's predecessor had already entered the cave. Since Senior Zhang Xuan said so, then I didn't need to hesitate anymore, and immediately bent down and carefully drilled in.
There seemed to be a natural cool smell in this cave, and as soon as I got in, I was hit by a cool breath that swept over my cuffs and trousers, and spread all over my body. I couldn't help but scream, and I was busy shouting in the dark cave: "Senior Zhang! Senior Zhang, where are you? ”
"Ergou, have you forgotten that you opened the eyes of heaven?"
Suddenly, Zhang Xuan's senior voice came, and then said: "You open the eye of heaven, no matter how dark this place is, you can see it all." Hearing this, I suddenly woke up, and then quietly opened the eye of heaven, and sure enough, as Zhang Xuan's predecessor said, I actually forgot that my eye of heaven can see everything invisible in the world. Even in this pitch black environment, you don't even need to light a torch to see everything around you clearly.
It turned out that the entrance to the cave was a downhill road, and I was standing on top of a raised rock. Further down, there is still a slope. And Zhang Xuan's predecessor was standing lightly on the inside of the cave at the moment, and while talking, he looked up at me. I jumped down and took a look around, the cave was strange to say, the left and right stone walls were very narrow, but the inside was very deep. Seeing this, I hurriedly asked, "Senior Zhang, this doesn't look like a cave!" ”
"Of course it's not a cave!"
Senior Zhang Xuan shook his head with a smile, and then said: "This is the passage for the former evil Jiao to enter and exit the lair, don't make a fuss, we still have a long way to go, follow me." As he spoke, Zhang Xuan's figure flashed, and he blinked towards the interior of the passage and disappeared into it. I hurried to follow, but the further I went, the heavier the cool smell became, as if we were getting closer to an ice cellar.
Turning a corner in front, there was a passage that meandered down, Zhang Xuan's predecessor didn't say a word, he flashed and walked in again, he almost didn't have to walk, he came and went freely in the blink of an eye. I secretly sighed, it is already terrible to cultivate to the realm of Zhang Xuan's predecessors, if it goes up further, wouldn't it be even more powerful? I can't help but secretly make up my mind that I must practice hard, and as soon as possible, like Zhang Xuan's predecessors and masters, I will seek benefits for all sentient beings and carry forward the Taoist mystic style.
About half an hour later, the figure of Zhang Xuan's predecessor stopped not far in front, and turned to me and said: "Ergou, I have arrived at the first floor of the Evil Jiao's hall in front, I have some bad feelings, you should be careful, always be ready to fight!" These things are not entrenched here for a day or two, and most of them have some Taoism, if you accidentally encounter the Tao, it will be very troublesome! "Hearing what Senior Zhang Xuan said so seriously, I hurriedly took out the copper coin sword and held it tightly in my hand.
Senior Zhang Xuan was obviously very cautious, and slowly entered the cave in front of him. This cave seems to be a semi-circular cauldron upside down, and the stone wall in it is hovered with lines the thickness of a bucket. It looks very special, and it is especially crazy. Sure enough, as Zhang Xuan's predecessors said, it was full of yin and evil aura, and bursts of black qi swirled in it. As soon as I walked in, my legs were already drifting.
"Senior Zhang, this cave is the first layer of the Evil Jiao Hall you are talking about?" I looked around and found that when I arrived at this cave, I had no other way to go, so I couldn't help but ask again: "Senior Zhang, what is the first-layer hall?" How can the evil Jiao still have a temple to live in? ”
Senior Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Longxing Palace, Jiaopan Palace." That is to say, the dragon has a dragon palace to live, and Jiao also has a Jiaodian to live. The so-called Jiaodian refers to Jiao Cave, but Jiao Cave is different, no matter how small Jiao has four or five nests, and Da Jiao has at least seven nests, or even nine nests. Then Jiao's nest is called the temple, and the nine nests are the nine-story hall, and the seven nests are the seven-story hall. Just because the Jiao acupoints are formed up and down, they are divided into layers. ”
I opened my mouth slightly, I didn't expect Jiao and Long to be able to refine so many Dao Dao. Immediately said to Senior Zhang Xuan: "Senior Zhang, since this is the case, we are now in the first layer of Jiao Palace, and there should be other levels below?" ”
"Not bad!"
Senior Zhang Xuan nodded in agreement, but soon, Senior Zhang Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared in place. I hurriedly glanced around, but I couldn't find the figure of Zhang Xuan's predecessor anymore, and I was about to open my mouth to shout, but I immediately shut up, because I sensed it...... I sensed a trace of yin and evil aura, a very strong yin and evil aura, which was surging towards me from all directions. And the copper coin sword in his hand also slowly stimulated a faint golden light at the same time as those yin and evil qi appeared.
Good and evil are opposed, and if evil qi appears, then righteousness will also appear. Therefore, once there is an evil spirit, the copper coin sword in my hand will also stimulate the masculinity and righteousness between heaven and earth. Thinking of this, I hurriedly waved the copper coin sword, glanced around, and in an instant, I saw four gray-faced figures, staggering out of the stone wall, these four figures, dirty, and unkempt, especially the sharp claws they wielded, pounced on me one by one.
"Bold Hindrance!"
I was startled and screamed in horror, and at the same time, I waved the copper coin sword in my hand and slashed at the four demons in the air. As he approached a demon, he suddenly saw the demon raise his head, showing his green fangs, and let out a low hiss from his mouth. His legs trembled in fright, and the copper coin sword in his hand almost fell to the ground. But at this moment, I felt a chill in my neck, and I screamed in horror, turning the copper coin sword and drawing it in a circle.
But when I saw the three demons behind me and on my side leaning away from me, I hurriedly swung my sword again and stabbed the evil cult in front of me. The bronze coin sword carried a golden light, and pierced the evil heart impartially. The evil spirit trembled violently, then turned into a puff of black gas and disappeared without a trace. I dodged away from the place where the vanished evil was located, but I saw that the three evil spirits had already waved their sharp claws and grabbed at the location where I had just been.
"Demons?"
I frowned, and only then did I see that the remaining three evil spirits were extremely vicious demons, and it seemed that before this, they were all hidden in the surrounding stone walls, and they were all exposed by my fierce faces. Seeing this, I hurriedly retreated, and the three demons also pounced on me with bared teeth. The evil ghost I just dealt with was a pure fluke, and these three evil ghosts pounced on me at the same time, and it was not so easy to get rid of them.
If I hit one of them, the other two will come at me together, and I've never tried it, but I don't want to, never will. But if the three of them deal with me together, they will inevitably dodge, and once they form a situation of encirclement of me, it will be the same as the previous four demons encircled me, and at that time, it may be my time to die!
I hurriedly glanced down at the copper coin sword in my hand, this copper coin sword is too short, it is okay to fight alone, and it is absolutely impossible to deal with group attacks. It can also be said that my Dao Xing will not be able to command the copper coin sword to defeat the three evil ghosts in the air, but at this moment, the three evil ghosts are getting closer and closer, and if I temporarily change the magic weapon, it will be too late. Just as I was about to fight with them, I saw a white light flash behind the three evil ghosts, but it was Zhang Xuan's predecessor who had gone and returned.
"Do you want to be scattered now?" The angry shouts of Zhang Xuan's predecessors rolled like thunder and reverberated in the Jiao Palace. At the same time, I clearly saw that Zhang Xuan's predecessor had an extra white long sword in his hand, although the long sword in his hand did not even come out of the scabbard, and these three evil ghosts had already stopped. I was stunned, but when I saw the three evil ghosts in front of me, my face changed in an instant, I don't know whether to laugh or cry, I don't know whether to be ashamed or guilty, in short, I lowered my head one by one, stretched out my claws, and hurriedly put it away.
