Chapter III

"Where?"

The giant elf let out several short roars in succession. Could it be that this Taoist priest has been digested by the children even with the belt meat? It's really strange, usually there is a shriveled shell left, but today there is not even a shell left.

Before it could figure it out, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, the pain came from the root of his neck, and quickly transmitted to all parts of his body along the nerves, making him tremble violently, and his stubby limbs were also overwhelmed by the sudden pain, his knees were weak, and his belly shell slammed to the ground. The Ao Jing shook his neck in pain, and threw the person on his neck out hard, and the tail that was tightly strangled in the night was automatically released.

The one who inflicted a heavy blow on the neck of Ao Jing was indeed Zhang Xun, who escaped from the film. The monster's skin was much thicker than he had imagined, and he stabbed it with a peachwood sword wrapped in a charm, and the force was not enough to kill it.

Just now, between life and death, he touched the peachwood sword on his waist, so he tried his best to pull out the sword and cut through the membrane to escape. But even so, the little insect in the film still sucked up a lot of his strength, and was violently thrown off by the Ao Jing to stand unsteadily, fell hard, and was in pain.

The wound on the neck of the Ao Jing drew a thick line of blood in the air. It gasped and stood up, its blood-stained head looking even more terrifying, and it felt a burst of pain as the spiritual power of the peachwood sword spell roamed through its body.

The gushing blood evokes the ferocious wildness of the monster. It raised its head to the sky and let out a continuous roar, and several jets of water rose into the sky with the roar, and the floating island trembled violently.

"Bastard! Give me death! ”

The giant roared shortly. It endured the pain in its neck, and as soon as it exerted its strength, its head bit Zhang Xun with a strong wind.

In a hurry, Zhang Xun hurriedly turned forward. The bite of the Aojing sliced hard into the ground, splashing a cloud of gravel and stones. Zhang Xun rolled under its abdomen.

Ao Jing didn't give him any respite, and the four short legs kicked the ground, and the huge body rose into the air, trying to use the weight of his whole body to crush Zhang Xun under his body into meat paste.

There is no way but to use this trick!

Zhang Xun raised his left hand and shouted violently: "Ghost Hand 4!" Recruit! ”

The spiritual power of his whole body began to converge to his left hand, and dense black particles filled the entire left arm in an instant, with a sound of bone creaking, Zhang Xun's left arm changed into a strange appearance: the arm was several times thicker, and several sucker-like things appeared on it, and with the tremor of the arm muscles, these suckers seemed to be alive and sucked together, continuously inhaling the blood and spiritual power diffused in the air into it, and surging along the arm into the young man's body.

It's a ghost's arm!

It is also another huge secret buried in Zhang Xun's body, and together with the Yin and Yang Eyes, it seems to be his innate ability. But where this power came from, he himself did not understand.

The elf that was falling from the sky let out a roar of pain. It felt as if the wound on the back of its neck was being torn and expanded, blood and demonic power seeping into the air. It wanted to stop its attack and check on its injuries, but its thunderous body couldn't help it.

The speed at which the ghost hand absorbed the spiritual power was extremely fast, and after the power was full and expanded, the ghost hand immediately changed, the bone joints continued to crackle like firecrackers, and the palm and forearm changed into a sharp blade, and a row of curved bones stretched out from the arm, like a sharp barb.

Zhang Xun's right hand tapped the talisman on his waist, and two talismans jumped out of it. He bit his finger and quickly drew a sigil with blood, sticking it firmly to the ghost's hand. A golden light emitted from the sigil, and the paper slid down, and the bloodstained mark seemed to grow on the arm. Two blood-red and golden-colored straight hook-like strokes, like lightning that pierces the clouds.

Zhang Xun roared loudly and swung his ghost hand upwards with all his might. This blow carried the dancing electric floc of the Lan Snake, forming a sharp shock wave under the obstruction of the air, and penetrated straight from the ink cold armor on the abdomen of the Ao Jing. The sharp blade carried the power of the thunder light spell, and finally made a cobweb-like crack the size of an inch on the ink cold armor, and the surging power of the ghost hand poured in like a flood of the embankment, and the ink cold armor on the belly of the Ao Jing was blasted into pieces from the crack. The massive blade sliced unreasonably into the monster's most fragile flesh, blood gushing out like a fountain, and the battered spirit let out a heart-rending scream.

The stinging and paralysis made it no longer able to support it, and it fell to the ground with a tilt, stirring up a large cloud of yellow smoke and dust, shaking the floating island almost entirely.

Only then did Ao Jing understand that the kid in front of him was not something he could deal with at all.

Thirty-six plans, go for the top plan!

It fell into the icy water with the momentum of tumbling, as if it had found its last ray of life. When it comes to water, this kid is not as good as me. Ao thought carefully, paddled his short limbs, spewed out a stream of water, and dived quickly to the bottom of the lake. The huge sores on his body kept draining the blood into the lake, and the water immediately became dirty.

The boy turned over and jumped, and before he had time to think about it, he jumped into the water with the help of the water. He kept in mind the teachings of his master, and if he wanted to be chivalrous and righteous, he must do it thoroughly. If the woman is benevolent and the tiger returns to the mountain, I am afraid that in the end, more people will be poisoned by this monster.

The blood spurting from the Black Marsh's wound stained the lake in large areas, and the red blood was reflected in the bottomless darkness, as if it had been mixed with ink. The thick blood could not be diluted by the lake water for a long time, and a black-red road sign was formed along the direction of the huge Aojing escaping.

The turbid lake water made Zhang Xun's blessed water escape power deplete quickly, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, if Ao Jing fought back desperately at this moment, it was really difficult to say who would win and who would lose.

Even if Aojing is unable to fight back, if he chases down like this, I am afraid that before he can catch up, he will have already suffocated to death.

Just as he was in a dilemma, a white arm reached out, and a small green leaf was shoved into his arms with slender jade fingers. It's amazing to say, and the place where the leaves are hidden on the chest immediately flashes with a green halo. Zhang Xun felt the grass slowly open its slender leaves, and the soft and delicate edges of the leaves gently swept over the muscles, gently holding his chest. Immediately afterward, the leaves slowly moved, and streams of air poured into the lobes of his lungs, making his body more flexible in the water like a swimming fish.

With a slight tilt of his head, he saw that Su Ye showed a shallow smile to himself, but he didn't expect her to chase after him and enter the water.

"Childe, the night is made of the lotus spirit, and it can also help Childe in the water." Seeing Zhang Xun pointing to his chest, he continued after a long night's meeting. "This thing is drowned, as long as it is placed on the chest, even ordinary people can walk on the ground in the water. With it, Childe will definitely be able to catch up with Kuronuma. ”

"It's amazing." Zhang Xun tentatively opened his mouth to speak, but it was as easy as on land.

A steady stream of air enters the lungs through the swaying of the drowning grass, and the hands and feet seem to turn into fins and tails, and the resistance of the water is almost unfelt, as if running in the water.

The two chased along the bloodstains, and soon found that there was a faint wriggling black spot in front of them, and the blood was spraying out of the black spot in a radial shape, gradually merging with the water. It seems that the black swamp has gradually exhausted its strength due to its injuries, and the reason why it keeps swimming to the bottom of the lake is not only to escape the pursuit, but also to use the low temperature of the lake bottom to relieve the pain of the wound.

Although he didn't turn back, Ao Jing still felt that danger was constantly approaching behind him. The instinct for survival drove it to paddle its short hind legs desperately, and its long, flattened prismatic tail spewed back the mud and sand mixed with the water, temporarily blocking the path of the two.

The sand and gravel hit him, Zhang Xun was beaten and staggered a few steps, and the drowning grass in his arms almost fell out. As soon as the drowning grass left his chest, the water rushed into his nostrils and mouth, choking him half to death. He hurriedly held his breath, grabbed the drowned grass, stuffed it back into the placket, and closed the clothes tightly with both hands.

As the sand and rocks continued to gush out, a large hole gradually appeared in front of the black marsh. Only then did the two of them understand that Ao Jing used this move to create an escape channel at the bottom of the lake. If it succeeds, even if it can catch up at that time, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.

Zhang Xun bit his lip and warned himself not to mess up, but to take advantage of his advantages and change his disadvantages...... Wait a minute! That's it!

Zhang Xun raised the ghost hand to his forehead, closed his eyes intently, and drove it to change shape with a strong thought. Gradually, several hollows of flesh and blood slowly grew around the forearm.

During the period of coercion, although there were many beatings and scoldings by the black marsh, those were nothing compared to the suffocation and oppression caused by this strange hand. But she clasped her hands and kept hinting to herself that she had to believe in Childe no matter what. After repeating it several times, the fright in his eyes gradually receded, revealing a little resolute expression.

At the same time, Zhang Xun clamped a few charms between his fingers and began to mumble incantations in his mouth.

As the spell snapped into his mouth, the hollow in the ghost's hand suddenly squirmed violently, and the surrounding water was continuously sucked into it, and the arm swelled violently like a balloon. Immediately afterward, he shouted "Edict", and the water inhaled by the ghost hand spurted like a tiger descending from the mountain towards the black swamp that was bent on escaping.

But it's no ordinary flow! The place it had hit was frozen into ice in an instant! It turned out that the boy used the water escape, which Kuronuma is best at, to inject the power of the ice spell into the hands of the ghost, and after inhaling the water flow, it was blessed with the power of the ice spell, and then sprayed into the lake, so that such a crystal brilliant but death-filled ice coffin could be formed.

By the time Kuronuma noticed that the water around her was cooling rapidly, it was already too late. The water blessed by the freezing spell hit the body of the Ao Jing, and flowed backwards in several streams, and the power of the ice charm quickly seeped into the surrounding lake water, and the Ao Jing didn't even have time to struggle, and the whole body was firmly sealed in the spreading ice. It roared loudly in anger, but the sound could not penetrate the thick ice. The ice gradually solidified and thickened, and it felt that the energy of life was being lost little by little.

The lake gradually calmed down, and the boy turned his ghost hand back to its original form, and slowly swam with Suye to the ice coffin that sealed the Ao Jing with the water waves.

Ao Jing wanted to open his mouth to curse, but his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't hear any sound. The ice coffin had channeled spiritual power to all parts of its body, depriving it of its perceptions and destroying its auditory nerves, turning it into a massive empty shell.

When the two appeared in front of the ice coffin together, a glimmer of light appeared in Ao Jing's eyes. It desperately opened its two small yellow eyes and looked fiercely at the enemy in front of it.

As if to say, if you have the ability to let me out, see that I won't eat you!

Zhang Xun let out a long sigh, slowly raised his right hand, and threw five thunder and lightning charms over.

"Five Thunder Rectification! The gods are destroyed! ”

The turbulent waves inside the barrier did not alarm the outside in the slightest. Liuyunkong tried all kinds of methods, but he couldn't shake the enchantment in the slightest. This made him more and more worried about Zhang Xun's situation inside, for fear that something would happen to him.

He took out an old compass from the treasure chest he was carrying, and floated it over with his right hand and his left hand. Under this flick, Sinan on the compass actually spun by himself. He straightened his right arm, placed the compass in front of the barrier, formed a sigil with his left hand, closed his eyes and chanted the incantation.

This is the strongest seal decoding technique taught to him by Liuyunkong's master, and it will cost him a lot of mana, even if he can deseal the seal, but I'm afraid he won't have much strength to deal with the next big battle. It's just that at this moment, the life and death of the little brother who met in Pingshui are uncertain, and he has to take a dangerous move.

The same golden runes kept flashing from the compass and the barrier, and the demon slayer felt that the power of the barrier was slowly fading. The caster of this enchantment should not be weak in spiritual power, how could such a strange situation occur? He wondered.

But don't let him think about it, maybe this is the best time to break the boundary. He continued to transfer spiritual power to the compass, and golden runes continued to appear on the surface of the compass and the enchantment at a faster speed.

Suddenly, the surface of the lake beneath the slayer's feet began to roll violently, and he didn't have time to figure out what was happening. Five deafening roars in a row rang out one after another like the wrath of the heavenly might, accompanied by the waves of rushing water to the sky. At the same time, dense shiny runes also appeared on the purple enchantment one after another, and as the runes shattered one by one, a huge gap opened in the corner of the enchantment.

"It's such a strong thunder curse mark, even more powerful than my cantonic thunder and lightning!" Liuyunkong stood up in shock. Since the barrier has been shattered, the caster must be dead. Could it be the five loud thunderclaps just now? The thunder seemed to come from a deep place at the bottom of the lake, and it would be difficult for anyone who unleashed the thunder spell to burst out of the water with such a powerful force.

If this is the case, then the little brother is probably even more vicious. Thinking of this, Liuyunkong softly recited the mantra to dispel the Sun Wheel Divine Bee, and then his body floated and flashed into the rift in the enchantment.

Liuyunkong flashed into the barrier from the rift, and his body was always on high alert. He could feel that the power of the barrier had been completely destroyed, but even so, he didn't dare to be careless. One hand grasped the demon pestle firmly, and his eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

The air was also filled with the residual smell of gunsmoke. He walked to the center of the floating island in the barrier, and after confirming that there was no danger, he slowly bent down, placed the demon slaying pestle on the ground, put his palms together, touched his lips, and recited the mantra.

As the mantra was spit out, a large patch of black gradually appeared on the wet ground, slowly turning from brown to purple, and finally turning into a shadowy blood red. Countless wailing faces emerged from the blood red, struggling desperately, as if trying to escape the shackles of this red.

"How many creatures has this demon killed?"

Liuyun Hollow felt a chill in his heart and said in a low voice. There was a deep hatred between the sword-like eyebrows. He sat down cross-legged, took out an old book, unfolded it suddenly, and spread it flat on the ground, strangely white as a mirror, and there was not a word on it.

The demon slayer closed his eyes and concentrated on it, pressed one hand to the book, and silently chanted in his mouth. Gradually, wisps of golden light appeared on him, shining on the damp ground. The golden light was transmitted down his arm to the book, and all the blood-red on the ground was sucked into it, and the names were sketched on the paper, and the faces on the ground became fewer and fewer, and finally all disappeared.

Liuyunkong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, closed the book and stood up. He personally saw that these souls who were tortured by demons could not become Buddhas, and their resentments were trapped in the enchantment, so he used the "White-clothed Cihang Mantra" to surpass them. It also makes him feel better.

Who is it that commits such a bloody murder? The slayer carefully searched the floating island, and soon found a dense blood stain scattered on the rocks next to the island. He stepped forward, bent down and dipped his fingers in some blood, and put it to the side of his nose and sniffed it.

"Human, and demon blood." He muttered to himself, but his face showed doubt. "Could it be that little brother Zhang has already suffered an accident?"

He closed his eyes in pain, feeling that it was his carelessness that caused the misfortune of the little brother he had just met, and this sense of déjà vu powerlessness tormented him deeply, like a giant palm choking his neck.

The young demon slayer suddenly noticed a patch of green in the crack in the rock next to him. He picked it up and saw that it was a torn piece of fabric, which was filled with a rich fragrance, but it was also mixed with a faint demonic aura. Somehow, the Demon Slayer's neat face was immediately enveloped in anger, his hands clutched the fabric tightly, as if to tear it into countless pieces, his teeth biting his lip so hard that he didn't even realize that it was bleeding, and resentful words burst out from between his teeth.

"Finally found ...... Finally let me find you! ”

He stood up with a long body, and the demon pestle in his hand slammed into the rock beside him, and the rock shattered into powder in response. He staggered a few steps, as if in a state of madness. Liuyunkong stared at the void in the air and knelt on the shore of the floating island.

The quietly flowing waters of the lake made him lose his breath of tracking. The young slayer stared at the deep lake for a long time, as if he wanted to evaporate the lake with the flame of hatred in his eyes. He slowly lifted the green fabric to his eyes, and his face was more hideous than ever.

"You can't escape my hands. I'm going to make you pay it back! ”

Zhang Xun emerged from the water and climbed onto the boat that was still slowly floating in the lake. The food and drinks on the ship were in perfect condition, and everything just now seemed to be a nightmare.

He rolled over, leaned against the side of the ship, looked up at the night sky as clear as a black jewel, and let out a long breath. On the water next to the side of the boat, Sue Ye slowly floated up, quietly watching him.

He looked at the night out of the corner of his eye, hurriedly straightened up, and said solemnly: "Thank you for the girl's help just now, I was able to get rid of this demon." By the way, this is back for the girl......"

He took out the drowning grass from his bosom, held it in both hands, and handed it over.

Su Ye stretched out his hand and touched the drowning grass with the hem of his sleeve, and the small plant emitted a burst of soft light like a drop of water into a big river, and then merged with the girl's clothes.

This move made Zhang Xun wake up like a dream, and he and the girl in front of him were by no means all the way. He broke into the enchantment in a daze because he heard the song of the night, and if he hadn't had Taoist protection, I'm afraid it would have become a meal in the monster's belly. Although this girl looks gentle and demure, she is a demon after all, and she has aided in abuse and hurt countless lives.

He opened his eyes again, forcing himself to rub a touch of coldness into his eyes. This look at the night made her feel like she was falling into an ice cave. It was a look of strangeness and rejection. The girl understands his thoughts, and shemales have different paths, which is an indisputable fact after all.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Xun suddenly stretched out the sleeves of his robe and stretched out his left hand.

Su Ye was shocked, thinking that he was about to attack him with the strange hand just now, he screamed, and his body retreated dozens of steps, causing a chaotic splash.

But the boy did not attack, but stood up with his hands on the side of the boat. He stood tall and said in an unusually serious tone.

"Night girl, I believe that you are controlled by the Black Marsh, and everything you do is not your intention. But it is also an indisputable fact that you deceive people with your singing voice. Even if it is unintentional, it is evil. But when I think that you can make up for your mistakes and help me recover my demons, I won't embarrass you anymore. But I hope that you will be good in the future, and do many good deeds. ”

After saying that, he turned and rowed away, still thinking about the scattered clouds.

After paddling for a while, he heard a slight sound of water behind him, and he looked back and found that Suye was following closely behind, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"What are you doing with me?"

"From now on, please let me stay with you." There were still undried tears in the corners of the girl's eyes, and she spat out such a resolute sentence that even if Kuronuma regenerated, she would not be able to shake her decision.

"What do you say? It's nonsense! The boy said angrily. He knew that it was difficult for shemales to coexist, and the best way was to let her return to her former peaceful life, but this girl couldn't appreciate her own painstaking efforts.

"You're a demon! I am a cultivator of the Immortal Dao! You should know that you and I are incompatible, and now it is considered extraordinarily generous to let you live, so don't leave quickly! ”

As he spoke, he paddled quickly to shake off the girl, his tone unfeeling.

"If the son is really cultivating the Immortal Dao, he should educate me with emotional things, how can he just walk away like this? What kind of ladyboy is different, is this also helping me? ”

The girl stubbornly followed the boat and kept talking.

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of him, the young man threw the oar aside in a fit of rage, and said angrily: "This is the truth that has been passed down between heaven and earth since ancient times. You're you, I'm me, and if it weren't for the Black Marsh, we wouldn't have met. If you want to talk to me about what a person who cultivates the Immortal Dao should do, let me tell you, the Immortal Dao and the Demon Dao are incompatible, and I should use the Five Thunder Righteous Law to blast you together to the point that the gods are destroyed! Is this what you want? ”

Su Ye looked at the angry young man, but there was only peace in his eyes: "Even if Kuronuma is dead, the evil he brought me will always surround me, and everything he destroyed will never come back." You don't want me to do anything unseemly like I used to. Then you will stare at me with your eyes, hold me firmly with your hands, so that I will not go back to those nightmarish days. ”

"You ......" Zhang Xun was speechless. He understood what it was like to be alone, he also understood the feeling of abandonment, he was almost on the verge of agreeing to her request, but he inexplicably began to get irritable, and there were so many things that he almost lost his bearings. "It's nonsense! I am now on an important mission, and I am still too busy to take care of myself, how can I have the spirit to take care of you! ”

"What is the important mission, Childe might as well say it, maybe the night can share your worries?"

The girl's bright eyes sparkled with longing.

As long as there is a little hope, I don't want to give up, which is exactly the same as me, but in the end, I still have to be abandoned by others.

Zhang Xun couldn't look directly into her longing eyes, so he turned his head awkwardly and shouted angrily: "The master wants me to find the blood of the imperial dragon, it is a big matter, and it is not allowed to be played." It's a waste of time to tell you this. ”

Su Ye's eyes widened, and he smiled: "Where is the imperial dragon bloodline that Gongzi said...... Maybe I do. ”

"How can the night girl know where the bloodline of the imperial dragon is?"

The boy gently paddled in the water and asked the girl beside him.

The two of them dived into the West Lake again, and all kinds of strange rocks and cruising aquatic plants passed by. What he couldn't understand was that Su Ye was just an ordinary lotus spirit in the West Lake, how could he know such a big secret of the imperial dragon's bloodline.

"This is the secret of our lotus essence agreement." Because of the vitality, the face that has been carefully carved like a work of art is even more vivid. "I only like to sing alone on weekdays, but I've heard my sisters talk about this secret. It's just that now, the sisters have ......"

Thinking of the sisters who had died, the girl's voice gradually lowered.

Zhang Pingnian cultivated in the deep mountains, rarely had contact with people, and was born clumsy, he didn't know how to comfort him when he encountered such a scene, and he didn't know how many times he was disgusted by that eccentric master alone.

There was a strange silence between the two.

Fortunately, after a while, Suye suddenly stopped moving, and the pale green sleeves swayed gently in the water, as if they merged with the water waves. She looked around and said with certainty, "This is it." You can't go wrong. It's basically the same as the sisters described. ”

Zhang Xun also stopped and looked around. The bottom of the water is soft mud and fine gravel, aquatic plants grow in it, and strangely shaped rocks. It's no different from an ordinary lake bottom.

"The Imperial Dragon bloodline is here?" He turned his head blankly and stared blankly at the night.

"I know every inch and every minute of this lake, and this must be what they say. You can't go wrong. Su Ye anxiously pleaded. She longs too much for the warmth of her caring companion by her side, even if she wants to do more. "But they also said that in order to enter the place where the Imperial Dragon's bloodline is placed, there are other ways to find it."

"So, what else to do?"

"This ...... I forgot about ...... too" Suye hung her head in embarrassment, her voice getting softer and softer. She swam to the bottom of the lake, carefully rummaging through the soft mud and fine sand at the bottom of the lake, trying to find some clues from it, and kept blaming herself in her heart, if only she had paid a little more attention to it and heard it more clearly.

Zhang Xun looked at the busy figure out of his eyes, and he couldn't bear to blame her for letting herself work in vain, so he sighed: "The bottom of this lake looks similar, let's start slowly from this piece." ”

Although he was protected from drowning and water did not enter his eye sockets, he still felt a slight soreness in his eyes. He rubbed his eyes slightly, and the moment his fingers left, he suddenly noticed a light fleeting on a nearby rock. He closed his eyes violently and then opened them, and the light came out clearly again.

"Night, you get out of the way a little bit." Following Zhang Xun's command, the girl got up strangely and swam to his side. Immediately, the young man gathered the spiritual power of his whole body in his mind, the pulse around his eyes trembled violently, and the color of his pupils turned from black to green, slowly blurring into a blue glow.

On the originally dark and lifeless rock, flickering spots of light clearly appeared. As the boy expected, spiritual runes were imprinted on this rock, and it was impossible to detect it without the ability to peep at it. He looked around carefully, and there were nine stones engraved with spiritual runes, evenly distributed at the bottom of the empty lake. The runes come in a variety of shapes and seem to have some special meaning.

"What does this mean?" Zhang Xun stared intently at one of them, the light in his eyes projected on the runes, intertwining complex colors.

At the moment when the Yin and Yang Eye and the spiritual power rune should be reconciled, a ray of light suddenly shot out from the rune, which was transmitted to another rune in turn, and projected in turn, connecting the nine stones in a circle. At the same time, there was a dull roar in the soft mud in the middle of the bottom of the lake, and a cylindrical pedestal slowly floated in the center.

The pedestal is carved with three intertwined dragons, and the dragons are inlaid with various precious stones. At the top of the pedestal, a carved dragon claw clutches an obsidian orb.

He cautiously approached to inspect it. The dragon was carved with great skill, and the gems on it were priceless, and it looked like it was not made by mortals.

Su Ye also followed: "Childe, you might as well look at that black ball like you did just now, what changes may happen." ”

Zhang Xun felt that she was reasonable, and then used her yin and yang eyes to strengthen her spiritual power and shoot it into the black ball in a wave. Slowly, a swirling vortex of spiritual power appeared in the center of the sphere, and the vortex gradually expanded, gradually exceeding the limit of the sphere's bearing. With a "boom", nine rays of light surged out from the core of the sphere and hit the nine rocks of different shapes.

One by one, the spiritual runes on the nine rocks lit up one after another. This time, even the night without the power of voyeurism can be seen clearly. The light spots that had accumulated a large amount of spiritual power flashed with a strange and uncertain light, and the spiritual power wandered around its lines, refracted back again, and merged back into the black ball.

Immediately after, nine shining runes lit up on the black ball in turn, and the precious gems on the entire sculpture gradually shone brightly.

The two of them covered their eyes together to resist the bright light that came to their faces. The bright light slowly dissipated, and the two of them lowered their hands, and the sight in front of them made them exclaim.

The bottom of the lake, which was originally filled with black sludge, is now as clear and clear as the surface of the lake, and the bottom of the lake, which is as clear as a mirror, reflects an inverted lake surface, like the reflection of the West Lake. In the middle of the mirrored projection, stood a majestic gate, and on the arched door was a dragon with teeth and claws, and the dragon's body shone with nine different runes.

Before the two of them could wake up from their astonishment, four lines of vigorous and powerful characters appeared on the mirror-like bottom of the lake.

Nine sons and dragons

Shenzhou Vientiane

Emperor's people's lineage

Eight wildernesses

The handwriting is fleeting, as if erased by an invisible hand.

Su Ye said excitedly: "Childe, it must be here." This is the Labyrinth of the Nine Sons. ”

But Zhang Xun's face showed a look of shame.

"Sleepy, I was actually ...... just now"

Su Ye's slender eyelashes shook slightly, a smile appeared from the corner of his eyes, he raised his hand to cover Zhang Xun's mouth, and said in a voice as clear as spring water: "Childe, without further ado, let's talk about it later." ”

Her bright eyes were as clear as black pearls, and they shone with total trust in herself. Zhang Xun only felt that his heart was hot, filling his whole body. He nodded heavily.

After the figures of the two shook on the mirror-like water, they disappeared as if they had passed through a tunnel intertwined with time and space. Soon, the pedestal sank back into the mud with the rumbling sound, the spots of light on the nine rocks faded, and the bottom of the lake returned to its former appearance.

A bright red carp slowly swam past the lake, stayed on the soft mud for a moment, and immediately swung its well-proportioned tail fin and quickly swam away.

A majestic gate stood before them. The entire door was shaped like a hovering dragon, with the dragon's jaws and four fierce claws clasping the four edges of the door. On the arched beams above the door, from left to right, nine symbols have just been carved into the rock. There wasn't even a crack in the heavy door.

Zhang Xun walked back and forth around the door, trying to find a way to enter, but found that the body of a giant dragon was snaking behind the door, which was one with the dragon head in front of the door. The designer of this labyrinth is really ingenious, and he actually integrates the shape of the dragon with the labyrinth, which is extremely apt for the name "Nine Sons Labyrinth".

He cautiously reached out and tried to touch the door. The moment his fingers touched the cold rock, the carved dragon head embedded in the door actually opened the giant mouth automatically, and a scorching pillar of fire erupted from it, and four intense beams of lightning also shot out from the four giant claws that clasped the edge of the door!

Thick pillars of fire and lightning easily broke through the barrier of the water, hitting him all over his body. With a burst of sparks and thunder, Zhang Xunsoft fell to the ground. As soon as his fingers left the door, the electric fire stopped.

I didn't even have time to shout in the night. She just wanted to run over to check on the situation. found Zhang Xun panting and getting up from the ground.

He pressed his hand on the placket of his shirt in shock, and the pale red droplet-shaped birthmark under the burlap beat quietly on his chest like a heart.

This birthmark ...... In his fragmented memories, it seemed that this birthmark had saved him many times......

It was as if he had been on a mountain cliff, and the red light flickered before his eyes, when it was raining, and the sky was full of dark clouds and thunder......

And the charred corpses all over the floor, and the rancid smell that filled the air......

His head hurt, and when he thought of this, he felt a pinprick-like stinging pain in his head. As soon as his feet went weak, the whole person fell to the ground again.

"Childe, are you alright?" Su Ye rushed over and crouched beside him, carefully checking for any injuries on his body. The cold fingers ran over the young man's hot skin, as if being scorched, and she quickly withdrew her hand, her white cheeks flushed.

Zhang Xun coughed dryly, rubbed his sore body, and pointed to the door to change the topic: "It stands to reason that the labyrinth should also be thousands of years old." How can the spiritual power on this door be so strong? Could it be that the person who released the barrier is within this labyrinth? ”

"What then? Son. This place is so heavily guarded, the Imperial Dragon bloodline must be inside. Is there anything else I can get into? ”

"You told me to calm down and think about it." Zhang Xun closed his eyes slightly, and quickly filtered what he had learned in his life, his brows became tighter and tighter, and the overly tense nerves drove the gums to rub unconsciously.

I didn't dare to disturb at night, so I could only accompany me to meditate. Suddenly, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reminded: "Childe, didn't you be able to discover spiritual power that ordinary people can't see just now?" Maybe it can be concocted in the same way? ”

That's right. I'm hell-bent on destroying the barrier, and it doesn't seem to work. Seeing the flow of spiritual power with yin and yang eyes, and taking advantage of the trend, may be the way to crack it.

Zhang Xun drove the spiritual power again, the ten fingers of his hands touched each other, a hole formed between his two hands, and a string of incantations came out of his mouth, and his body floated lightly.

He used the method of resisting the wind to slowly fly to a position parallel to the dragon's head.

The dragon head of the stone sculpture has a huge mouth slightly open, and the dragon whiskers on both sides swim in an astonishing manner, and the eyes as big as a human head shoot a compelling light.

The flickering, saucer-shaped light in the dragon's eye constantly changes shape in the center of the obsidian-like glowing eyeball, like a galaxy of stars in the night sky. The shape and texture of the eyeballs are the same as the obsidian spheres encountered before entering the labyrinth.

He concocted it in the same way, but it backfired, the blue mang in the eyes of yin and yang was like a mud cow entering the sea, and it never returned, and there was nothing abnormal in the eyes of the dragon's head.

"How so? Isn't that here? Or am I doing it wrong? Zhang Xun couldn't help but feel anxious, and subconsciously gnawed on his nails.

The lifelike dragon's head shook before his eyes. Suddenly, he had an idea: "No, two...... That's right, two eyes, you must use two spiritual powers. He scratched his hair and grimaced. No, I only have one yin and yang eye, how can I shoot two spiritual powers at the same time. ”

"Childe, why don't you try this." Su Ye floated gently to his side, holding the black ball on the pedestal just now. "Maybe this can be ......"

Zhang Xun suddenly realized, hurriedly took the black ball from her hand, and put it flat in front of him. The black ball slowly spun in his palm on its own.

The spiritual power in the yin and yang eyes accurately shone into the vortex in the ball, and the rapidly rotating vortex split the spiritual power in two and shot towards the two dragon eyes.

He felt spiritual power continue to pour out of his yin and yang eyes, his eyeballs were almost about to explode, and the spheres were spinning more and more rapidly. Just when he was almost unable to hold on, he suddenly heard a squeak.

The dragon's head slowly rose upward, and its upper and lower jaws clicked open, spewing out a strong air flow from it, like the roar of a dragon.

The two dragon claws that had been holding the top edge of the gate slowly stretched out forward, and slowly descended to the ground with the wriggling of the dragon's head and body. The thick dragon claws spread out their three toes and lay them flat in front of them. Nine symbols flashed in the center of the claw one after another, and an open arch appeared on it!

Zhang Xunfang had to admire the meticulousness of his observation. If it weren't for her help, I might have lost a lot of time here.

Originally, I thought she would be a drag...... He adjusted his breath, controlled the spiritual power surging in his body, and turned around.

"Night, let's go in."

This is the first time Zhang Xun called her by her name after the two got acquainted, and she was stunned all night, as if she was still in a trance for this sudden change, but soon, her eyes were filled with excitement. She answered excitedly, and followed Zhang Xun into the door in the dragon's claws.

The door slowly closed behind the two of them, and everything returned to calm.

A carp slowly "swam" over, so strange that it seemed to be flying in the air. The carp, covered in golden scales, constantly flicked its well-proportioned tail and its gills opened and closed as it slowly approached the gate of the labyrinth.

Thousands of miles away, in the emperor's palace in the deep cave.

Above the huge court hall is a map woven with countless stripes of light, scattered with various symbols and imprints, and the distribution of mountains, rivers, and villages can be seen in full view. The Emperor sat behind the heavy curtains, raised his finger and pointed at the map that flashed in the air.

With a "snort", a red floating mark flashed on the map as indicated by the finger. The emperor in the curtain breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, the eighteen princes have completed the assignment of subordinates, and the ministers immediately urge them to take office as soon as possible."

A deep voice came from the darkness in the corner of the temple.

"There is Lao Aiqing. Aiqing can supervise the eighteen princes at any time, and there can be no slackness. ”

"Commandment." The shadow melted into the darkness and immediately fell silent.

Seeing that this important thing was done, the burly body stood up from the dragon chair, lifted the curtain and swayed gently. On one side of the golden dragon chair, there was a calm woman, with a delicate figure, but covered by a black cloak.

Seeing the man get up, she stepped forward and bowed her head: "Your Excellency has been busy for days, and it must have been very hard." Please focus on the dragon body and rest early. ”

"Probably not. Although this matter is over, the next thing should come again. The well-being of all the people is the greatest relief for loneliness. ”

"Your Majesty, Shadow Hunt is calm and old-fashioned, and the Eighteen Mansion Monarchs will definitely not let His Majesty worry about it. but tarsal ......"

"What happened to the tarsus?"

The woman knelt on the ground and buried her head lower: "The concubine doesn't dare to say anything." ”

The man smiled and said, "Jing Chao, you are really obsessed with these false courtesies. Well, forgive you for your innocence, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to speak up. ”

The woman named Jing Chao straightened up and said: "The tarsal bones are suspicious and impulsive, and the legend of the Nine Sons Labyrinth is very wide, but there are few records in the book, I'm afraid he ......."

"Are you saying that with the power of the tarsal bones, even if you find the Nine Sons Labyrinth, you may not be able to enter it?"

"Jun Shang Mingjian......" Jing Yu hurriedly lowered his head again. …… With the concubine's understanding of tarsal bones, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, she will be right. ”

"If you're worried about what will happen to your tarsal arrogance, there's something to be forgiven." The emperor turned his back, his wide gilded cloak dragging to the ground. "However, if you are worried that the tarsal bones will not be able to enter the Nine Sons Labyrinth, then it is really unfounded."

"Your Majesty, why are you so sure?" Jing was suspicious and refused to give up. "The labyrinth of the nine sons is deeply hidden with treasures and many mechanisms. Among the five heavenly generals, in terms of intelligence, the tarsal bones are the last, and I am afraid it will be difficult to complete such an important task. ”

"It's because I'm going to the Nine Sons Labyrinth that I'm not worried."

"Your ......"

The emperor raised his hand and interrupted the woman's words with a smile: "Because the labyrinth of nine sons was designed by a lonely hand!"
