Chapter VII
Su Ye was frightened by the old man who appeared in front of her like a ghost, and retreated again and again, but her hand still held Zhang Xun tightly and protected him by her side.
The old man seemed unusually calm. She hung the oil lamp in her hand on the hook on the wall, raised her skinny right hand, and shook it gently at the girl.
This seemingly ordinary action made the soul fly for nine days. She closed her eyes and screamed, raised her hand in the air, waved away the old man's outstretched hand, and retreated into the corner, gasping for breath.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
The wrinkles on the old man's face tangled into strange patterns, and he slowly approached the night with a limp.
"You...... Don't come here! ”
The girl cried out helplessly, her arms tightly shielding the still unconscious teenager.
“…… What's wrong with you, so scared, did you see something you shouldn't see? A sinister smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and under the yellow halo of the oil lamp, her face was covered with zombie-like wax yellow, and her voice was like the anger of a dead man.
Suya's eyes widened in terror, and the aura of fear emanated through her throat, but she couldn't make any sound. She subconsciously hugged Zhang Xun tightly.
The old man seemed to say to himself, "Don't be nervous, you can't go anywhere." Even if you can get out of this house, you can't get out of the forest. So it's better to stay obediently and obediently. ”
"Could it be that the maze of the forest is also your fault?" Nightmare asked.
"Hehe...... the old woman smiled noncommittally. The hollow, shriveled mouth looks like a devouring black hole.
The old woman slowly walked to the pot with her waist bent, picked up the big spoon full of dirt and put it to her mouth and licked it, hehe sneered.
"I also have a special ingredient in the soup you drink."
I didn't care about being scared all night, so I hurriedly put Zhang Xunping on the ground, opened my mouth, and tried in vain to smell the smell in my mouth.
"It's useless. Half an hour before you woke up, I had already fed him a big bowl. The old woman laughed again. Didn't you see him sleep so deeply? ”
When she heard this, she couldn't help but be anxious, so she picked up the broom by the door, and waved it at the old woman as soon as she closed her eyes and her heart.
However, her arms were still in mid-air when they were firmly grasped by the old woman's claw-like hands. The old man, who looked skinny and powerless, had an amazing arm strength, and his fingers pinched a few deep cyan scars on the girl's delicate skin, causing her to scream in pain, and the broom fell down with a click. She pulled her arm back, and Suye's body was pulled over and close to her body.
"You're in such a hurry, let's start with you."
The old man grinned and put his right hand in front of her face, opened his toothless mouth, and let out a strange whining sound in his throat, and the palm of his right hand swirled in front of her eyes.
But the terrible sight that appeared in the puppy did not happen. The old man was startled, looked at his palm suspiciously, and kept muttering, "What's the matter?" How did it fail? ”
The old man's face showed a fierce light, and he twisted her arm with his backhand, and sniffed up and down the night with his hooked nose, and the wrinkles on his face immediately relaxed.
"You're a demon?"
Su Ye was clever, and immediately seized the opportunity, pretending to be fierce, pulling Zhang Xun up hard, raising his throat, and warning the old woman in an ugly and sharp voice.
"Get out of here! This man is my prey! ”
The old man shrunk like a dried persimmon, nestled in the corner of the door, and his shriveled mouth unconsciously let out intermittent wails. Suye glared at her with a pretended ferocious glare, and raised his foot to step over the threshold.
At this moment, the old woman who was trembling on the ground suddenly reached out and grabbed the girl's legs, twisted her body, and dragged her back to the house with the boy. The old woman who had regained her feet hung the bamboo basket back between her elbows, a contemptuous smile on her lips.
"Do you think I'm going to believe your? When he fell asleep, he was called quite affectionately. Little goblin, old woman, although I have lived for hundreds of years, my eyes are not blind, and my ears are also smart."
She stretched out her withered hand and pinched her delicate chin, and said like a blow in her mouth.
"Do you think I can't take your bones, so I can't help you?"
As she spoke, a black gas suddenly erupted from her mouth, which soon filled the room. The black air surrounded, making it impossible to see her face clearly, and only her muffled voice could be heard.
"Between demons and demons, it is necessary to rely on the strength of the demon qi to divide the victory and defeat."
In an instant, the thatched roof that had just covered her head suddenly disappeared, and the raindrops poured down on her head and hit her. Su Ye noticed something strange behind him, and turned to look, only to find that the wall behind him had turned into a slightly raised black mound!
And there were more than a dozen graves standing around, large and small, and the rain and mist blurred the girl's vision, making it seem as if the graves were alive and wriggling.
"Nothing surprising, you just slept next to here."
The old woman's voice made Su Ye feel sick for a while. She was just about to move her legs and run away, but more than a dozen bundles of black dirt suddenly emerged from the grave behind her, wrapping her hands and feet tightly!
The girl's body was tightly bound and pulled back to the side of the tomb. The strong smell of corpses hit the nose of the night.
"If the guest wants to leave, the host still has to stay." The old woman laughed. "I didn't entertain you well, which made the old woman feel at ease."
She spread her large, withered hands like dustpans and slowly enveloped the girl's frightened face.
The Song capital is Lin'an.
The city was divided into corridors and royal roads by rivers, which were used by the commoners and the royal family respectively, and the boundaries were strict and orderly. The streets are lined with various workshops, especially wine shops, music shops, ceramics, textiles, carvings, etc.; The night ban is relaxed, and the night market is still noisy after the sub-hour, causing bright lights and brilliant lights, illuminating the entire Lin'an City brightly and transparently, just like a scene of a prosperous city that never sleeps.
Located at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, the imperial city is built on the basis of the "sub-city" of the former Wuyue Dynasty. The main gate of Miyagi Nanli is the main hall gate, divided into threefold, with gold decorated with vermilion gate, covered with copper foil, carved and painted flying phoenix, swimming dragon pattern, lifelike, strict bearing, the garrison is impermeable, and the birds and birds are also difficult to cross.
There is also a royal tower built on the castle tower, which is the place where the guards in the city exchange posts to guard the city gate, and the guards in armor patrol the castle tower back and forth, and the sound of armor hitting is endless.
At the moment when the two guards switched places, the torches hanging on the pillars beside them suddenly "boomed" into a strong flame, and the two of them hurriedly turned their faces to avoid the pressing flames; Almost at the same moment, a transparent object quickly swept through the gap between the two of them, and floated towards the imperial city.
Many maiko musicians in the inner court were playing and singing hard, but the Song Emperor Zhao Gou, who was sitting in a pavilion, seemed to be deaf. Although he was in the ears, his face was solemn and worried at the moment, and the table full of delicacies and wine in front of him did not seem to whet his appetite.
His eyes were glued to the book on the desk.
The official standing beside him was dressed in purple overalls, wearing a right-angled head, and his hands were tightly gripping the jade belt around his waist, so nervous that he didn't even dare to come out.
Zhao Gou suddenly sighed, and the palace maids who were fanning beside him were shocked. He picked up the fold and threw it on the official next to him, and sighed: "Aiqing, look at it, if Yue Fei continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid that my hard work will be in vain." ”
The official carefully picked up the fold and flipped it open, his eyes wandering with the handwriting, his brow gradually furrowed, and his mouth read softly at the same time.
"It's better to pound the Huanglong Mansion and drink with you...... Your Majesty, this ......"
"He's really a big breath...... Zhao Gou snorted disdainfully. Over the years, Yue Fei has fought in the south and the north, and has made a lot of contributions. But the Jin people are easy to provoke, their strength is ten times stronger than my Great Song Dynasty. A few days ago, he won a battle in Yuncheng, which frustrated the spirit of the Jin people, and he should have struck while the iron was hot to negotiate peace with the Jin people, but he didn't listen to my orders, but instead went his own way......"
"Your Majesty must not be worried." The minister bowed his head and said. "The ministers will find a way to mediate with the Jin people and ask them for grace. But if Yue Shaobao continues to fight all the way like this, even if the minister has a reed tongue like Zhang Yi and Su Qin, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the Jin people. ”
Zhao Gou sighed again: "Qin Aiqing knows my intentions very well. This Yue Fei, relying on the generals, will not be subject to the king's order. I told him to go east, and he went west; I want him to stop, he has to fight. If it weren't for the fact that Taizu had left a testament and couldn't indiscriminately behead the courtiers, I would definitely destroy his nine clans! ”
Wearing a purple overalls is Qin Hui, who worships the prime minister, and is also an important figure in the current peace talks between the Song State and the Jin State. He stood up from his seat, approached Zhao Gou, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty Shengming." Originally, the ministers had basically negotiated the conditions, but Yue Shaobao made such a fuss, not only did the Jin people have no time to sign the peace agreement, if they annoyed them, if they exterminated Yue Shaobao's team with the strength of the whole country, let alone pay the New Year's coin, I am afraid that the matter of peace negotiations will be more auspicious. If they lead their army south again......"
Zhao Gou, who was wrapped in a golden dragon robe, suddenly shuddered. Looking at the pavilions that were still gorgeous and majestic in the deep night, he felt as if he was no longer the owner of this place. The feeling sent him shuddering. Zhao Gou tightly grabbed the fence of the pavilion with his hand and commanded in a low voice.
"Qin Aiqing, you immediately follow my hand, draft an edict overnight, order Yue Fei to reorganize the troops, and quickly return to Lin'ancheng."
"Your Majesty...... Drafting an edict without alarming the Hanlin Academy? Qin Hui asked cautiously.
"I am the Son of Heaven, if I want those rotten Confucians to dictate everything, this Son of Heaven will simply let them be forgotten." Zhao Gou was provoked by this sentence, waved the sleeves of his robe, and sat back on the couch angrily. "Qin Hui listens to orders!"
"Commander Qin Hui." Qin Hui hurriedly knelt down.
"Tomorrow morning, I want you to follow the example of Zhuge Wuhou, fight the Confucianism, and vigorously promote the matter of peace, and then I will light up the edict again and discipline those people to be speechless."
"But...... Your Majesty, among the ministers, there are many people who support Yue Fei, and when the time comes, the ministers will be alone......"
Zhao Gou frowned and said, "What are you afraid of!" I have my support for you in everything, you just have to speak freely, if you can make peace, I will be rewarded. It's not too early, you go and do something! ”
Qin Hui hurriedly raised his robe and knelt down, thanked the holy grace, and left the courtyard. He thought in his heart that since the emperor himself also wanted to negotiate peace, there was a chance that the peace agreement with the Jin people would be successful. In fact, the front-line battle reports came every day, how could he not know in his heart that the Jin people had been beaten by Yue Fei and were scared, but if Yue Fei and other ministers drove straight in, really broke through the Yellow Dragon and destroyed the Jin State, then his Qin Hui's position in the imperial court would be in jeopardy, and maybe his head would fall to the ground.
In the quiet of the night, the cold wind blew and made him shiver. I think that he was captured by the Jin people to the north with Hui and Qin Erzong, and fled to Lin'an after being released, and endured all the hardships, and finally climbed to the position below one person and above ten thousand people today, how could all this be handed over to people like this? Qin Hui stiffened his neck from his robe, wanting to make his short and thin figure look a little erect, he quickened his pace and walked through the corridor, preparing to leave the imperial city through the side door and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but this long corridor that he had walked countless times on weekdays seemed extraordinarily long today, as if there was no end in sight.
Suddenly, a very high-pitched, faint voice came from above him.
"Lord Qin...... Lord Qin......"
Although Qin Hui was afraid, his mind seemed to be restrained, and his eyes became blank. He looked up and saw a translucent spherical object hanging from the corner of the gallery's beams and columns. The object slowly lowered to his eyes, vaguely resembling his appearance, and the faint voice whispered in his ear.
"Lord Qin...... Borrow your body and use it...... Hehe......"
The transparent object suddenly bounced off in front of his face like a spider's web, and the "plop" firmly covered his face. Qin Hui wanted to reach out and tear off the things covering his face, but his hands and feet opened behind him as if he was being dragged by someone, and he couldn't exert his strength at all. As the transparent object melted into his skin, his body lost its strength and fell to the ground with a "snap".
She felt an overwhelming black demonic power surging over her, enveloping her in it, and the heavy feeling of suffocation was so heavy that she couldn't even open her eyes. This feeling was also felt when Kuronuma oppressed her, making it difficult for her to act on her own terms, thus becoming Kuronuma's puppet at his mercy.
She knew that her demonic power could not compete with the old woman. The spells that the lotus spirits know are known for healing and illusion. In the face of the old woman's sense of coercion and such a powerful offensive evil aura, she was simply helpless.
How can I get some escape opportunities for my childe? She wanted to look back at the boy again, her eyes full of attachment.
But she didn't see Zhang Xun, that place had become empty!
She was so frightened that she almost screamed. But at this time, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Sleepy night, leave it to me next." ”
Su Ye turned his head and saw Zhang Xun's confident smile.
She had been alone for so long, both physically and mentally on the verge of collapse. The moment she saw that the young man was well, she unloaded the tight burden, and the whole person collapsed, and her body couldn't withstand a weakness. Zhang Xun's eyes were quick, and he hugged her waist with his newly recovered right hand, so that she could be relied on for the time being.
The ghost hand of his left hand struggled to block the demonic energy released by the old woman.
The old man was shocked.
"How is that possible...... I obviously fed you and drank the worm soup! ”
"Do you mean that bowl of dark, pungent and disgusting soup?" He teased with a frown. "How could I drink something so bad, I just took it in my mouth and secretly vomited it when you weren't paying attention."
The old man trembled with anger, and with the noise of the wind, the whole person looked like a crow constantly flapping its wings against the dark background.
But the boy still continued to add fuel to the fire without care.
"Actually, when you carried us back, I was already conscious. Speaking of which, your strength is really not small, and you actually carried me and Su Ye back together, don't you say strange? ”
The old man silently looked at the young man who was talking fiercely from the corner of his eye.
"I still have to thank you for giving me the medicine that made me feel better so quickly." He lowered his head and whispered a few words in Suye's ear, Suye blushed and nodded, stood up straight, and took a few steps behind him.
Zhang Xun wiped his nose with his free right hand, and shook it vigorously in front of the old man as if provocatively.
Seeing that he moved freely, the old man not only did not get angry, but laughed ruefully, and in the incessant sound of rain, a night bird in the dense forest responded: "It's good, it's good, since the pig is fattened, you can boil the pot......"
A bolt of lightning slashed across the sky cut off her words, and the old woman immediately merged with the dark night, opened her palm, and fell from the sky, covering Zhang Xun's face.
"Childe, watch her hands!"
Zhang Xun half-squatted and raised his ghost hand to protect his body. He immediately felt a powerful suction force rushing over him, and the bones in his arm kept beating, as if they would break free from the shackles of his flesh at any moment. Shocked, he hurriedly stepped on the ground with the arch of his foot, bounced his body backwards with force, and at the same time swung his left arm out vigorously, forcing the old woman to withdraw and dodge.
"Childe, her hand can suck out the other party's bones in the air!"
"What if you know it! Your bones are still mine! The old woman didn't wait for the night to finish speaking, and the group pounced, and her cry became even sharper and fiercer.
Zhang Xun hurriedly dodged the old woman's attack sideways. The old woman's five fingers stretched forward, lifting a layer of soil behind him, and even the tomb soil on the mound a foot away was sucked into the air and danced wildly. Zhang Xun dodged this blow, immediately switched from defense to attack, turned around and swept with his left arm, the strong wind rushed towards the old woman, the old woman hurriedly withdrew her hand to dodge, her body jumped like a harrier eagle to dodge, but the ghost hand suddenly changed into the shape of a soft whip, like a spiritual snake winding in the air, and wrapped her legs with a snort.
"Humph! Such a flexible body, what kind of old woman are you! Hurry up and show your original form! The boy bit his middle finger and smeared blood on his left arm. The blood line immediately outlined dozens of runes on his left arm, and the young man recited two sentences in his mouth, and the runes were as if they were alive, and quickly spread towards the old man's body along the ghost hand that turned into a soft whip.
As if sensing that the end was near, the old man made a terrible sizzling sound in his mouth, and his face was as dead as night and grave soil. She struggled desperately to dig into the grave, but the ghost's hand wrapped around her ankle, and the blood-red runes quickly crept up on her.
On the body of the old man dressed in black linen, the red rune imprints were intertwined with light and dark, like blood shadows floating. As the old man burst out with a miserable howl, the blood-colored runes lit up on her body one after another, exploding dozens of crisp sounds. When the sound stopped, the old man collapsed to the ground like a persimmon that had been drained of water.
Su Ye just wanted to run over to celebrate, but Zhang Xun raised his hand to stop her, the young man's hand still maintained a vigilant posture, frowned and said, "No, the demonic spirit has not dispersed yet." ”
"But she's not ......," Suye asked, pointing to the old man who had collapsed to the ground, suspiciously.
He looked directly at the old man who was slumped on the ground, not daring to be distracted in the slightest, and replied, "I don't know how to answer for a while, in short, there must be something wrong." ”
As soon as the words fell, the old man's body suddenly underwent a strange change. The yellowed white hair slowly faded from his head, and the linen clothes gradually turned into black foam, gurgling bubbles, and the old man's body quickly melted into the earth and disappeared, replaced by a pungent stench.
"Corpse gas!" Zhang Xun covered his nose and took a few steps back. "This old woman must have died a long time ago. Someone used a spell to control her to do these horrible things. ”
He pointed to the place where the old man had fallen, and his yin and yang eyes had activated at some point, flashing a faint blue light.
"Yin and Yang Eyes tell me that that is the source of demonic energy."
The peach wood fairy raised his eyes to look at the clouds, and the color of the clouds had gradually changed from white to lilac. "Is it almost there?" He thought to himself, and the tension made his breathing heavy.
Before he could figure out what to do next, a black light suddenly shot at him like lightning in the purple clouds. The little immortal was shocked, and immediately pinched his fingers, summoning pieces of green leaves, which spun around him rapidly, and the black light narrowly brushed over the green leaves, flashing a burst of cold light, turning the cloud he was standing on just now into powder.
"Stop! Those who trespass into the Jiuli Heavenly Palace die! A man's deep voice came out.
The peach wood fairy stalked his neck, and replied with a strong pretense of composure: "Hmph! If I hadn't hid quickly, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. Could this be the hospitality of Jiuli Heavenly Palace? ”
"Since you are a member of the Lingxiao Palace, you should know our agreement. The two families are bounded by land and do not invade each other. You trespassed on our Heavenly Palace, even if you died under my broken halberd, it would be your own fault. While your life is still alive, get out of here! ”
The peach wood fairy looked around, and he didn't know how much danger was hidden in the dense clouds. And if you do it on the other party's turf, I'm afraid you really won't be able to get any bargains. But he is also a stubborn temper, and since he has come here, he naturally does not want to go back empty-handed, so he can only say hard.
"I am the peach wood immortal of Yingzhou Immortal Island. It is really helpless to venture into the heavenly palace without permission. Just because there is something important to discuss with the lord of your palace, please pass it on on your behalf. ”
The voice in the clouds replied disdainfully, "It turns out that you are the Peach Tree Daisen." Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! It's just that I don't know that the famous fairy mountain guardian is actually a hairy child. Lingxiao Hall is really a general in the palace, and he actually sent a third-rate pawn like you to be a lobbyist. ”
Taomu Immortal held back the anger in his heart and continued: "Although Xiaoxian has a humble status, the matter is very important, please pass on the word to the lord on my behalf." ”
"What kind of identity you are, you are also worthy of talking to our lord! Hugh wants to bargain, leave a message, and get out of here. If you dare to be verbose, don't blame me for not having long eyes! ”
Tao Muxian finally couldn't help but say angrily: "You rat generation, I have good words, but you add up bad words." Think I'm a bully? I'd like to see what your light-breaking halberd can do to me! ”
He patted the waist pouch at his side, and two tender green leaves jumped out of it, which instantly grew larger, encircling him in the middle like a cicada cocoon. The blades swirled and drilled into the clouds.
The man in the clouds said no more, but quickly shot out two black rays of light, stabbing into the green leaves.
But strange to say, the black light could even shatter the ethereal and invisible clouds just now, but at this moment, it seems to be absorbed by the leaves, and gradually merge into the veins of the leaves.
"Carving insect skills, I can easily break them with leaf pods."
He was triumphantly rolling into the clouds with the leaf pod, but suddenly there was a strange whistling sound in front of him, and the tightly held leaf pod opened violently as if frightened.
"Not good! There is an ambush! The peach wood fairy hurriedly pulled out of the leaf pod. As soon as he left, a red liquid came out of the leaf pod, and the stench was permeated. The leaf pods slowly faded into nothing.
"That's amazing!" Tao Mu Xian secretly complained in his heart. Just now he acted impulsively and recklessly, and now that he is in the territory of Jiuli Heavenly Palace, I am afraid that there is far more than one enemy. Even if his skills are still there, he doesn't dare to say how much advantage he can take, not to mention that now there are only a hundred years of cultivation left.
"It doesn't look like it's going to be as simple as forcing me to leave!"
"Hey, hey, the little thing in Lingxiao Palace, dare to show off his might on our territory, and you won't be able to return." A shrill voice came out of nowhere.
A woman's voice also floated from her ears: "Fifth brother, this baby is so handsome, can you leave it to me." ”
The shrill voice smiled again: "The ninth sister likes this baby." It's just the girl who will lead him away. Save my brother a lot of effort. ”
At this time, the first dull voice interjected angrily: "It's beautiful to think." This rabbit cub has broken my broken halberd, if I don't kill him, how can I raise my head and be a man. ”
"Oh, what's the matter with the two broken halberds, it's not a problem for my sister to give you ten or eight another day." The woman's voice replied delicately.
"No! I'm going to kill him today! The first voice said unrelentingly.
"Good opportunity." Taking advantage of the chatter and argument of the three voices, the peach wood fairy moved, the red clothes on his body were open, and his body fluttered as agile as a swimming fish playing in the water.
As long as you quickly flee to the realm of Lingxiao Palace, you will be safe.
But things were as simple as he imagined.
"Look, my baby can actually control the dragon body method." The woman clapped her hands excitedly and laughed. At the same time, a blood-red mist suddenly appeared in the clouds, surrounding the peach wood immortals.
His body instantly became heavy, and before he could figure out what was going on, his body fell like a scale, and he fell heavily into the clouds.
Instantly, three figures flashed out of the clouds and surrounded him. A tall and burly man made a dull voice: "The ninth sister is really good." Blood mist can be attacked or defended, see how you escape. Lao Tzu is going to take revenge now! ”
As he said that, he was about to make a move, but a woman in a red dress hurriedly stopped him: "Ouch, seventh brother, this baby was captured by my sister." Sister likes it, you have to rob me too. ”
"Sister, get out of the way, this stinky boy broke the seventh brother's broken halberd. If it weren't for him, he would be talking nonsense everywhere, how could your seventh brother still be mixed up in Jiuli Heavenly Palace. Get out of the way......"
As he spoke, the man pushed away the woman in red with a flick of his wrist, and with the woman's scream, two black lights stabbed straight at the back of the peach wood fairy.
"My life is at my disposal." The peach tree fairy covered her eyes and screamed.
A strong qi suddenly gushed out from a distance, blowing the black light away without a trace. The three people who were still standing just now were shocked, and hurriedly bowed their heads and knelt down, and they didn't dare to come out.
Three neighing sounds of horses were heard like thunder, huge horses' hooves stepped on the soft clouds, and the horses stopped beside several men with a long neigh, and their snorts almost blew down the three kneeling men.
"Haotian Divine Horse?" Peachwood Immortal said secretly. "Could it be that the Venerable Lord of the Nine Li Heavenly Palace is here?"
"I've seen the general. Greetings to Lord Saint Ann. The three kneeling men greeted respectfully.
No one in the carriage tent spoke, and the tall man who was driving the horse asked sharply: "Fei Chanzi, this general ordered you Qishan Jiuxiu to strictly guard the three passes, and you don't guard your posts, but frolic and make noise here, what crime should you be guilty of!" ”
Hearing his name, Fei Zenzi was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his face was like earth, and his originally shrill voice trembled at this time: "Back to His Royal Highness the General...... We...... We caught a spy from the Soaring Palace. Please send the general. ”
The tall man in black beast-head armor glanced at it, waved his horsewhip nonchalantly and said, "Trespass on the forbidden land, kill it." ”
Fei Zenzi and the other three people were about to make a move. But the man in the tent suddenly said, "Slow." ”
The owner of this voice seemed to be seriously ill, and his speech was light and weak. But Fei Chanzi and the others immediately stopped and lowered their heads again.
"Let him talk." Again, the voice came out, short and powerful, unquestionable.
Hearing the order, the woman in the Nine Shows of Qishan hurriedly removed the blood mist from the peach wood fairy.
Taomu Xian stood up stubbornly, and did not forget to squint his eyes and glance coldly at Fei Zenzi and the other three people who were lying in the clouds, and then bowed to the carriage as a salute.
"What is the matter with you risking to break into my Heavenly Palace Forbidden Land? If you can't satisfy me, you don't want to leave. ”
Taomu Immortal swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed down, and told the story of the opening of the ghost door.
The man in the tent pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since the matter is urgent. Why didn't you take this matter to the Jade Emperor of Lingxiao Palace, but instead came to my Jiuli Heavenly Palace for help. ”
These words touched the sore spot of the peach wood fairy, and he snorted coldly and said, "I don't want to." But they only care about singing night and night, and they don't care about the sufferings and disasters of the netherworld......"
"Then why do you think that our Heavenly Palace will come to the rescue?" The man in the tent gave him a slap in the face.
"This ......" Peachwood Fairy was like a shackle in his throat, and he was suddenly speechless.
The Heavenly Palace Venerable Lord said indifferently: "The people of the Nether Realm have long regarded the Jiuli Heavenly Palace as a demon realm, so why should we go to this troubled water with an evil demon crooked path. Isn't Lingxiao Hall their savior? ”
This was said extremely ugly, but Taomu Immortal did not dare to make a mistake: "The Lord said this, and I think it is inappropriate." If the Venerable Lord intervenes to help the Nether Realm survive the crisis, the Jiuli Heavenly Palace will be able to break the existing situation and dominate the Three Realms, and the hegemony will be at your fingertips. ”
"Oh? How so? The man in the tent said playfully.
“…… The reason why Ling Xiao Hall was able to temporarily overshadow the Heavenly Palace was not because the Heavenly Palace was not strong, but because Ling Xiao Hall had attracted the hearts of the people of the Nether Realm. If the Heavenly Palace can send charcoal in the snow to help the lower realm escape this catastrophe, the people will be driven by the hearts of the people, and they will definitely turn against each other. At that time, the Venerable Lord only needs to give an order, and the Heavenly Palace can sweep the Heavenly Realm with surging momentum and overwhelm the Lingxiao Palace. The Lord can achieve hegemony through the ages. With just a little effort, you can get this great benefit, so why not do it? ”
There were indeed many temptations hidden in his words, and even the eyes of the iron-cast horse keeper iron hammer burst out with two fine lights.
The people in the tent laughed, clapped their hands and said: "Peachwood Daxian is really powerful, when he speaks, he is the Tao, and he likes me." Even the battle-hardened Iron Hammer is almost tempted by you. ”
Tie Gong was startled, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "My subordinates should die, I hope I ask the lord to surrender."
The lord said: "If everything is really as Taomu Fairy said, these are not unreasonable......
"Did the Lord agree to Xiaoxian's request?" When Tao Muxian heard that there was a drama in the words, he was overjoyed.
However, the Venerable Lord continued to his own thoughts: "My Heavenly Palace has poured out, and it is not difficult to break the siege of the Nether Realm. But if this is a trap and you want my Heavenly Palace Gate to open wide, and then attack it in one go......"
When Tao Muxian heard this, he hurriedly interrupted: "A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Palace signed an alliance with Lingxiao Hall without fighting, and the two families were divided into boundaries and did not offend each other. The Lord is really ......"
The Venerable Lord smiled faintly and interrupted him: "If I were the Jade Emperor, I would never let go of such a good opportunity." So those things you said ......"
Everyone bowed their heads and waited for the final decision of the Lord.
“…… Don't mention it. Let's go, don't step into this place again. ”
The Lord's voice suddenly turned cold and ruthless, and a look of despair appeared in the eyes of the peach wood fairy.
Zhang Xun pointed to the place where the old man disappeared and said, "It's there." It's a very strong demonic aura. ”
Looking at the night, the dark night, the dark ground, the weeds growing haphazardly, the rotten branches, except for the basket that the old man carried with him, did not find anything strange.
Could this be the source of demonic energy?
Su Ye was thinking about it, and the two charms that Zhang Xun was holding between his fingers had already been "brushed" out, and before he could get close to the bamboo basket, a black shadow jumped out of it like lightning.
The black shadow jumped in the air several times in a row, approaching Zhang Xun's arm, and after he let out a roar, the black shadow quickly jumped into the shadows of a big tree and disappeared.
Zhang Xun raised his hand in pain, leaving four deep blood marks on his bare arm.
"Childe! Behind! The screams of the night made him look back. His face was almost close to a wet, stinking face. Zhang Xun was startled, hurriedly retreated, and before he could stand firmly, two rotten hands suddenly stretched out from the dark soil and firmly grasped his feet.
He struggled desperately, but the hands were gripping his ankles like pincers, immobilizing him. In desperation, he threw out two spells, like blades, and slashed the ground to cut off the rotten arm.
But the strange thing is that the severed arm actually uses its fingers as its feet, slowly squirming on the ground, and continues to move towards him.
There were also exclamations from the other side of the night. Zhang Xun hurriedly turned his head to look and was shocked by the scene in front of him. A steady stream of corpses crawled out of the broken tombs, some of them had turned to white bones, some of them had just rotted, and the black-brown flesh emitted a strong stench, and they moved slowly, but it was obvious that they were coming at the two of them.
He covered his nose with his hand and glanced at the night, and the two of them quickly climbed up a large tree next to them.
Su Ye looked at the group of corpses that were gradually approaching below and said worriedly: "Childe, I'm afraid this won't last long." What to do? ”
Zhang Xun put two fingers to his mouth and motioned for the girl to be silent. His ears fluttered slightly, as if to catch movement in the air. He opened a cloth bag on his belt, took out a handful of light blue powder, said a few words in his mouth, and blew out all the powder in one breath, and the powder quickly melted into the black night sky.
The corpses below began to shake the trunks of the trees, and although they moved slowly, their strength was not like that of ordinary people, and the heavy trees were shaken a little. Su Ye was so frightened that he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Xun's sleeve, but Zhang Xun seemed to be blind to the danger, still staring at the silent night sky.
"Found it!" He suddenly shouted, and the four charms that had been between his fingers flew out in unison, shooting towards a fleeting dark red light cluster in the night sky, but the speed of the light cluster seemed to be faster, and it quickly swept through the spell's attack, leaving a faint red mark in the night sky.
"Don't try to run!" Zhang Xunyi gritted his teeth, his left hand and right hand swung out at the same time, eight charms struck red light from both sides, and the spells he shot flashed a light in the night sky. Strange to say, after these eight charms were shot, the red light slowed down its movements and stopped in the air leisurely. The corpses that shook the trees slowly turned into black dirt.
Could it be that the attack just now worked?
"Hehe, you've run out of charms." The old man's gloomy and cold voice came from the red light.
"No, there's another one." Zhang Xun stretched out his hand, holding a charm between his fingers.
"Eight charms can't beat me, and one charm can do anything to me." The voice sneered. "But I have to admire how quickly you can guess that I am hiding in a basket."
Zhang Xun said: "Not only do I know that you are in the basket, but I also know what you are." ”
Hongguang said: "Oh? ”
He said calmly, "I don't know why you're doing evil here, but I can be sure of one thing. You're not human, you're a cat. ”
