Chapter 208: Ruthlessness (I)
Without waiting for me to stop, Master grabbed me by the shoulders, dragged me to a place, and whispered: "Be quiet, the demon entrenched in this last layer is the spirit of a fierce beast, and for some reason it came here, occupying the area of this slashing cliff, and Gu Tan was trapped in the cave by the deer, and he couldn't escape for a long time. Now you, Uncle Hu and Wujin, are observing the movement near the cave to prevent the demon from being ruthless at any time! ”
"Uncle Hu is also here?" I shouted excitedly, but immediately lowered my voice and asked, "Uncle Hu and Wujin are also here?" So where are they? How can I not see them? As I spoke, I hurriedly glanced around, but I didn't see anything, not only Hu Qingxuan and Wujin, but also the cave where the demons were hidden. This cliff seems to sit here so lonely, with a steep stone wall above, and a steep stone wall below.
The master replied in a low voice, "From this Jiaojiao cliff down five or six zhang, you will reach the bottom of this underground cliff, where there is a cave with demons. But that demon's perception ability is extremely strong, and it is extremely vicious, although it is only a spirit of a fierce beast, it is enough to shake the heavens and the earth, so that countless demons and monsters die here, as for our cultivators, if it is an ordinary Taoist priest, I am afraid that they will not be able to enter at all! ”
There is still such a terrible demon described by the master, if the master has to be so careful, then, what is the origin of the demon? The spirit of the beast? I frowned and hurriedly asked Master, "Master, what is the spirit of that fierce beast?" What is the origin of its real body?! ”
"Ruthless!"
The master replied without thinking, and then said: "This fierce beast is an ancient fierce beast, but now it has long been extinct, and it can only be left in the world's famous mountains and rivers, but it is just a spirit. The immortals who have already ascended to the immortals in their true bodies are either subdued into mounts by the gods, or imprisoned by the gods somewhere, in short, they must not cause trouble in the world. However, even though we have encountered the spirit of a fierce beast, we cannot underestimate it! ”
After a pause, the master continued: "Ruthless, born in the netherworld, living on cannibalism, gods, demons, and ghosts, all living beings eat them. Its ferocity is no less than that of the ancient murderer Qiqi, and this ruthless in ancient times, often in the world, was often a disaster in the world, and was later mostly included in the ancient powerful sages, with a formation, or imprisoned in Penglai Immortal Island, eternal life and eternal life can not escape! However, there is no absoluteness in the world, although the ancient fierce beasts have been subdued and imprisoned by various gods, but those fierce beasts are fierce beasts after all, and they still leave a spirit in the world, hoping to be able to cultivate the spirit in order to achieve the purpose of cultivating another true body, so as to escape the shackles of the gods. ”
Hearing this, my eyes widened slightly, if it weren't for the words that came out of Master's mouth, I really couldn't imagine that there was such a miraculous thing in the world. I thought that the ancient beasts were just myths and legends, but I didn't know that they were all true. As for this ruthlessness, although I don't know anything about it, it is really appalling to hear Master's description! After a long time, I didn't know what to do with Master's words.
Because almost everything Master said was far beyond what I knew. Who would have thought that in this kind of underground cave, at the bottom of the dark abyss, there is still the spirit of a fierce beast!
However, I inexplicably had a little curiosity about that deer in my heart, as if the more terrifying, the more I had never seen it, the more curious I wanted to see what that thing looked like, and the master stood aside, as if waiting for me to make preparations, and then led me into the territory of the deer. I swallowed hard, and finally nodded heavily, and said, "Master, then let's break into that ruthless territory!" ”
Although these words are magnificent, the voice is extremely low. I was afraid of attracting the fierce attention, so I cautiously came to the master and waited for the master to lead me to eliminate the demons. Without saying a word, the master turned his head and walked to the interface between the cliff and the stone wall, and then carefully climbed up the stone wall, and slowly moved down from the side of the cliff.
I also followed Master's way, and little by little I landed downward. This time, the height was not at all comparable to the height of the eighth layer of Jiao Hall, but it still took me and Master half an hour younger. Finally landed lightly at the bottom. The bottom rock turned out to be a pitch-black black reef, could it be that this was once the bottom of an ocean? I speculated, but with a wave of my hand, Master dodged and walked towards the dim depths ahead.
Now my heart has risen to my throat, and this time I have to deal with the legendary beast! I really didn't think that I could encounter this kind of thing in this life, I was excited and timid, frightened and curious, in short, I was full of complexity, and when I really came to the bottom, I realized that there was really a hole in it, the left and right were empty and deep, and there was no end to the left, and there was no end to the right.
Even the distance between the front and back is about 30 zhang, which is like coming to a small cave outside the world. Before I had taken a few steps, Master suddenly signaled to me and dodged behind a boulder, while Master lifted his magic sword and gently tapped the stone wall three times with the hilt. I looked at Master in astonishment, "Master, what is this for?" Just as I was puzzled, Gedi heard a faint sound of footsteps in the distance.
After taking a closer look, my heart was hot, and there were two figures coming, none other than Hu Qingxuan and his apprentice Wujin. When Hu Qingxuan and Wujin saw me, they both dropped their jaws in surprise, and Wujin even ran up to me, looked me up and down, and asked, "Brother Ergou, is it really you?" You, how did you get here?! As he spoke, Wujin looked at my master again, but my master didn't mean to explain, after all, this passage is too long to talk about.
I also smiled in a low voice, smashed my fist on Wujin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you, and now I am relieved to see that you are all well." In fact, since you fell into this underground cliff, I have been breaking through the Jiao Hall with a ghost immortal predecessor until I met my master on the eighth floor, and then followed my master here. ”
I didn't say anything, but I was so excited to see Wujin that I couldn't help but describe the general process of my coming here in one or two sentences. In fact, if you really talk about it in detail, it will take you three days to finish. Hu Qingxuan was also very relieved to see me, and lowered his voice and smiled: "Actually, your master has always been very worried that you can't wait to rush in, this place is full of dangers, your master is very worried that you can't cope with it, now that I see you well, I guess the big stone in your master's heart has also been put down, anyway, the big stone in my heart is put down, hehe...... Hey? By the way, what about Shangguan Jin? Isn't he with you? Why didn't he come? ”
Speaking of this, Hu Qingxuan thought of Shangguan Jin, but when it came to Shangguan Jin, I was full of complaints, and immediately pursed my lips, casually I and Shangguan Jin mistakenly broke into the cultivation place of the ghost fairy Zhang Xuan's predecessors, and inadvertently let go of the ghost cultivation, and even Shangguan Jin escaped without permission in order to save his life, and also said it briefly in three or five sentences, and in the end, I said helplessly: "He seems to have left earlier than me, but he hasn't arrived here yet, it seems a little unreasonable, maybe he is in trouble somewhere." ”
"Alas! Shangguan Jin sometimes does things without consideration! Although Hu Qingxuan did not directly find out Shangguan Jin's shortcomings, being able to make him speak like this shows that Shangguan Jin has become less and less valued in his heart. Then, Hu Qingxuan said again: "But after all, he is Gu Tan's disciple, and our trip is also here to rescue Gu Tan, if Shangguan Jin has a good deal, it will inevitably make Gu Tan feel uncomfortable, Senior Brother Yang, what should you do about this?" ”
The master thought for a while and said, "Now that we have all come to this ruthless cave, we should first find a way to get rid of that ruthless and rescue Gu Tan, as for Shangguan Jin, now we don't know where he is trapped, if we abandon Gu Tan to find Shangguan Jin, I am afraid that it will be in vain." In addition, there are many dangers here, it is inconvenient for a few of us to separate, once separated, there will be three long and two short, and then the gains will outweigh the losses, in my opinion, we should now work together to deal with that ruthlessness, rescue Gu Tan, and then turn back to find Shangguan Jin. Qingxuan, what do you think? ”
When Hu Qingxuan heard this, he immediately nodded: "What Senior Brother Yang said is very true, if two people are divided to find Shangguan Jin now, only Ergou and Wujin are the most suitable, because the two of us must join forces to deal with that ruthlessness, but despite this, I don't know if I can get my wish." But the two dogs and five catties of Taoism are too low, once they encounter any other demons in this, it is indeed not the best policy, well, it is still Senior Brother Yang's thoughtfulness, if Gu Tan is rescued at that time, we will tell the truth, presumably Senior Brother Gu Tan will understand our intentions. ”
"Whether he is considerate or not cannot be determined by his temperament, after all, this time it is all the result of his own fault, if it weren't for his whimsical desire to collect all three non-ecclesiases, he wouldn't have ended up like this!" The master sighed deeply, and then said: "Alas, let's not talk about this first, let's find a way to rescue Gu Tan first, by the way, you have been waiting outside the cave for so long, have you ever got in touch with Gu Tan?" ”
