Chapter 2: The Sinkhole Blood Abyss

How can there be so many immortals in this world. Thousands of Taoist cultivators, although they have lived for hundreds of years, but those who have been able to live for thousands of years, for thousands of years, only one person has heard of it, and there is no one who can cross the tribulation and ascend, or sit and ascend.

"Do you think we are like immortals? Hee-hee. ”

The young man saw the pink-clothed girl staring at him with a pair of apricot eyes like a smile, moon eyebrows and star pupils, red lips like red fruits in the fox mountain, his heart was pounding, and his face was crimson. Fiddling with the dimming bonfire, the boy became more and more confused.

"We are cultivators, come here not far to find a strange pit, this is Huqi Mountain?" The girl in red covered her mouth and tasted the cooked meat in her hand, but she didn't look up, her voice was like a breeze and a light bell, and the young man's heartbeat trembled again.

"Fox Qi? Run to the back of the house for more than an hour, there is a fox mountain, there is a big pit not far from the fox mountain, you can't see the edge at a glance, it rained heavily two years ago, and now it has become a strange lake, it is foggy every day, you will fall from the lake if you are not careful, and the beasts are not easy to approach. Uncle Fox in the village didn't allow us children to go there. The young man stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction and answered the question of the girl in red.

The girl in red frowned, and read a few words in her mouth.

The girl in pink was overjoyed, pulling the girl in red's clothes, and shouted happily: "Yes, yes, it should be that big pit, running around for several days, I don't want to find it so easily." Sister Hongmei, we seem to be here the fastest. ”

Hongmei coldly scolded the girl in pink, and slowly put down the animal bones in her hand that no longer had a woman's flesh. Look at the boy. "The lean meat you roast is really the best taste in the mountains, good craftsmanship. My two sisters will stay overnight tonight, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, I don't know if you will be respected, it's getting late, is your father and mother traveling far away and not returning? ”

"Fairy, my name is Zhang Mingxin, I have no father or mother, my uncle raised me, and my uncle disappeared two years ago. Here, I'm the only one who lives. Between the words, Zhang Mingxin lowered his head, with a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.

"Oh, how can you ...... alone", Hongmei's eyes suddenly turned cold when she looked at Zhang Mingxin, and immediately turned to tenderness, Zhang Mingxin, who bowed his head, was unconscious, "Then it's bothering." Hongmei turned her head and glanced at her pink-clothed sister, who was still sipping barbecue meat without being reserved.

The pink-clothed sister nodded, ate the meat in her hand in three or two times, flipped her hand, and took out a pink silk scarf out of nowhere, and gently wiped her mouth stained with meat oil, which was even more red.

Fan Yi put away the silk scarf and asked, "You are next to Huqi Mountain, have you ever met a fox demon, or a fox demon confuses people and harms people's names." ”

"Fox demon? This place is called Fox Village, and the village is to worship fox fairies. There are no foxes on the mountain...... Immortals, even if there are a few foxes, they occasionally steal some animal meat, and they don't hurt people or animals. Zhang Mingxin clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of Huqi Mountain, as if he was afraid that the "fox demon" would offend Fox Mountain once, "The grandfather and aunt in the village did not let the fox hurt the fox, offended the fox fairy, the villagers could not pick mountain goods when they went up the mountain, they could not hunt, and the fox fairy no longer blessed our fox village." ”

Pink clothes sighed, and apricot eyes looked around, "If we live in your room, will you sleep in this courtyard?" ”

Zhang Mingxin was stunned: "My bed can sleep three people." ”

The twin girls looked up violently, "Huh? At the same time, he looked at Zhang Mingxin, and his face immediately turned crimson. A terrifying murderous aura rose in the eyes of the girl in red.

Zhang Mingxin opened his mouth wide, surprised by the surprise of the two: "My uncle's big bed is enough for the two of you to sleep, and I clean up every day." Ah, by the way, you are fairies, Uncle Liu said that there are different things between men and women, this, this...... You can sleep in the room, and I'll sleep outside. ”

Hongmei looked at Zhang Mingxin fixedly, the murderous aura in her eyes gradually disappeared, she stood up gracefully, took the hand of the pink coat, and walked to the wooden door of the wooden house. As soon as he moved, a gust of cold wind blew through Zhang Mingxin's body, and Zhang Mingxin "um" and slowly fell. "How sleepy...... ......"

In the room, the pink clothes looked through the small window gap in the wall and looked at Zhang Mingxin who was lying on the ground.

"Sister, won't he be a fox demon?" Pink Yi whispered, "This village actually worships fox demons, it's very weird. ”

"Silence, don't sleep to death tonight, don't lie down, meditate. The first time you go out, remember to take precautions in the future. The people of the mountains and wilderness, there are many strange things, and it is not unusual to worship a fox demon to beg for blessings for the fairy. ”

Hongmei looked at the empty room except for the twins, and the last pair of apricot eyes were on the big bed that was so big that it could almost accommodate four people to sleep together, a hint of redness, and her cheeks rose again.

"Did you give him drunken fairy sleeves, or closed ......" Fan Yi sat on the bed, his feet crossed, and his eyes just closed and opened.

"You Jing girl, can't you see what it is, a stupid child, do you like it." The red clothes were angry, "Meditate, I'm tired for a day in the starry sky." ”

"It's so close to the fox, what else is the fox uncle, maybe it's the fox fairy who has cultivated for thousands of years, and he is older than you and me."

Hongmei stopped talking and closed her eyes and meditated. But his eyelids and ears moved slightly, as if he was not cultivating, but quietly observing the surrounding environment, thinking about something.

The girl in pink didn't say anything more, her eyes were closed, her eyebrows jumped slightly, her body emitted a faint light, and a delicate little face surged with a burst of pink red tide from time to time, and she was already in cultivation.

Outside, as the night grew deeper, there was no more open flame in the bonfire, and only a few dark red coals remained to confirm that it had done its duty and lit it.

Zhang Mingxin was lying on the ground, and the eyelashes of a pair of eyes had been dyed with a lot of night dew in the autumn wind, almost dripping. Although he was dressed in animal skins, his body was curled up. The autumn wind was in the night, stroking Zhang Ming's heart and the twelve-year-old boy, as if to wake up the child sleeping on the ground, but it only brought more chill to Zhang Mingxin.

On the small slope in the distance of the wooden house, a short white figure was staring at the wooden house angrily, and the pair of crystal clear black eyes were staring closely at Zhang Mingxin who was lying on the ground in the courtyard of the wooden house.

The white fox who snatched Zhang Mingxin's roast beast meat.

The white fox seems to be restless, although his eyes are not far from the wooden house, the four paws have been moving restlessly, standing for a while, running left and right for a while, the slope of these two feet, has imprinted a lot of fox paw prints.

Finally, the white fox shook its head, screamed softly, and sighed, turned around and ran towards the mountain forest, and after a few steps, he looked back at the wooden house, paused for a few breaths, cracked his mouth, hissed angrily, and ran towards the wooden house, all the way to the hidden soft, fast and shadowless.

The white fox quietly burrowed into the courtyard of the wooden house, walked to Zhang Mingxin's side on tiptoe with light paws, glanced at the wooden house angrily, stretched out the fox beak to kiss Zhang Mingxin's eyelashes and the dewdrops on his face, and then curled up into a ball, leaning on Zhang Mingxin's chest, snuggling and lying down.

The white fox suddenly raised his head, as if he remembered something, looked at the bonfire that was about to go out, opened his mouth and blew gently, the bonfire was burning again, and a warmth enveloped Zhang Mingxin and the white fox.

One night, the fox, with both eyes open, stared at the wooden house.

The next day, the morning sun shone into the courtyard of the wooden house, Zhang Mingxin opened his eyes, sat up from the ground, and stretched, "Hey, why did I sleep here?" Zhang Mingxin scratched his head and looked at the wooden house.

In front of the wooden house, a woman smiled at Zhang Mingxin with a morning light on her face. "You're awake." It was Hongmei, who was dressed in red, who had gotten up early, finished freshening up, and waited for Zhang Mingxin to wake up. "Why did you sleep in this courtyard last night, and you weren't afraid of the wind and cold, and you didn't wake up when you shouted, and I couldn't move you because I was weak, but this bonfire was not extinguished until dawn, and I was afraid that you were already sick."

Zhang Ming looked at Hongmei obsessively, a red plum shrouded in golden light, with a pretty face, a long body, and a bulging chest on her slender waist, exuding a rare beauty of familiarity. A red dress with flowing cloud sleeves rippled with the autumn breeze in the morning, and although the exposed skin was not as good as white jade, it was gorgeous and shining, which shook Zhang Mingxin's heart. The twelve-year-old Zhang Mingxin who was in a discordant affair was not confused by Hongmei's Yanmei, but in Huming Village, those aunts and sisters, black and yellow, were all rough people, compared to Hongmei, this woman in red was really like a fairy.

What's more, there was another woman in pink dressed Jing girl Wang Jing out of the room behind the door, although she was not as familiar as the rhyme of red plums, she was younger and more energetic. Standing in the courtyard of this hut with the red plum, bathing in the morning light, it is really like a fluffy and shining.

Zhang Mingxin responded with two sentences, and he couldn't figure out why he slept in the courtyard last night. After quickly freshening up, he took a rattan basket from the outer wall of the wooden house, drew water from the well, washed the things in the rattan basket, and placed it in front of the two women who were already sitting in the courtyard.

"This is the fruit picked in the mountains yesterday, you can eat it."

There were a few ripe red wild fruits in the rattan basket, the two women looked at it, the red plum did not stretch out their hand, Wang Jing poured two fingers and lightly flicked one, put it in the mouth to taste, and the red plum could not be stopped.

"It's sour." Wang Jing frowned lightly, as if he didn't expect this red fruit to be sour, "To my taste, I eat it in the morning, it's a little weird." ”

Hongmei sighed, picked up a fruit, but didn't eat it, and handed it to Zhang Mingxin, "You can eat it too, just a few, don't let this little girl dominate everything." ”

Seeing that Zhang Mingxin took the fruit and ate it all, Hongmei picked up another one and tasted it slowly.

"This mountain is vast, although you showed us the way to the big pit monster lake last night, we may not be able to find it, why don't you take us there today." Hongmei tasted a fruit and smiled at Zhang Mingxin.

"Ah, it's good to take you there, although Uncle Fox doesn't let us get close to that strange lake, and I've been there secretly a few times, but aren't you, aren't you flying from the sky?" Zhang Ming looked at Hongmei curiously, with an inexplicable expectation in his eyes. Wang Jing picked up the third wild fruit and looked at the red plum strangely.

"We are extremely tired from flying in the air, and we haven't recovered from last night's rest. And the mountains near this Huqi Mountain are one after another, the ancient forest is secluded, and it is not so tiring to walk and appreciate. Hongmei looked at Zhang Mingxin with a smile, and that smile made Zhang Mingxin refuse. People who cultivate the truth always make mortals look at it with a sense of fairy or monster, Hongmei doesn't know what exercises to cultivate, and there is a little charm in her eyes and words.

Wang Jing covered his mouth and smiled, but Zhang Mingxin lowered his head and agreed to lead the way, with a little loss on his face. I was disappointed in my heart, if this lead was flying in the sky, naturally, they would also take themselves, but unfortunately, they were on the road.

After the three of them finished eating Guo'er breakfast, Zhang Mingxin took down a firewood knife more than a foot long from the outer wall of the wooden house and took the rattan basket, pinned it to his waist, and led the two girls out, bypassed the wooden house, and walked in the direction of the strange pit and strange lake where the two women were going.

There are green mountains and dense forests along the way, and there are no big roads, but fortunately, there are also small roads opened by Zhang Mingxin or the hunters in the village in the old days, which can be regarded as walking. Zhang Mingxin has lived in the mountains for a long time, and this road is naturally a light whirlwind, and the mountains are like flat land. The red plum is full of flowers, but he can follow Zhang Mingxin closely, but Wang Jing is often hung on the corner of his clothes by dead branches and grass thorns, or when he sees one or two strange flowers and purple, he also smells the fragrance or takes it off and wears it on his head, pulling and pulling, after all, he is a cultivator, and he has not fallen very little.

There was almost nothing to say all the way, so Zhang Mingxin took a break with a mountain top, and when he looked at the Quartet, he pointed out to the two girls where he looked at the fox and the big pit lake. Or the two girls asked Zhang Mingxin, and Zhang Mingxin answered.

It's just Hongmei, although she goes to the strange lake, but when her vision is open, her eyes always look in the direction of Huqi Mountain. The stones and trees of Huqi Mountain are mottled, the women's stone women's forest, other mountains and forests move with the wind, reflecting the sun and green, and the red plum looks at it several times, Huqi is like a static dead painting, the forest does not move, the stone has no light, compared with other nameless mountains, it is gloomy and weird.

About an hour or more, more than ten miles away, two hills, faster than usual, out of a woodland at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Mingxin stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "That's the strange lake, I don't know if it's the place you are looking for." ”

The two girls looked up, where is the lake? One or two miles in front of the forest, there is flat sand and gravel, no grass and no wood, and behind the sand and gravel ground, there is simply endless gray white cloud fog, without a trace of water color flooding. What's even more strange is that the autumn wind blows the black silk of the two women's sideburns, and the clouds and mist seem to be motionless.

Walking forward again, the eldest woman Zhuxiang, the two girls finally stopped at the shore of this "strange lake". The black water and gray fog, the left and right shores are not thousands of feet, but they are falsely round, within two miles of the lake shore, there are sand and stones, and there is no trace of green. The trees, flowers, and plants two miles away are much lower than those farther away, and they seem to grow slowly to this sandy and rocky land. This "strange lake" is from inside and outside the lake, which is really suitable for a "strange" word.

Endless silence! Make this strange lake even stranger, the water has no waves, not even the ripples of the waves, the water is quiet; Birds and beasts are silent, gray fog is not moving, and the fog is silent; In the light autumn, the weather should be cold and windy, but the wind is hard to find by the lake, and the world is silent!

The two women walked around the shore of the lake for a long time, talking softly, Zhang Mingxin couldn't hear clearly, so he could only follow behind. Waiting for the two women to stop, staring at the gray fog in the lake and being silent, Zhang Mingxin pushed away the faint gray fog, walked to the shore and picked up the water and washed his face, the water was also strange, looking black, Zhang Mingxin held it in his hand, but it was transparent and colorless.

The two women watched Zhang Mingxin's actions and slowly leaned over, as early as when they were walking along the coast, the two had already sacrificed their magic weapons. Hongmei is a red scimitar, shaped like a blood moon, which can be seen clearly in the sun, and the knife has snake scale concave and convex lines. Wang Jing's magic weapon is a golden ring hanging on his arm, which has become more than ten times larger and hangs behind Wang Jing. Closer to the lake, the magic weapons of the two slowly emitted light, one red and one gold, and the gold ring was inlaid with eight blood-colored golden thorns, which also turned dark red at this time, and there was no light.

The two women stopped on the shore and watched Zhang Mingxin stir in the water with one hand. Finally, Zhang Mingxin couldn't help but ask: "Two sisters, although this 'strange lake' is strange, that's it, there are no fish in the lake, ...... What are you looking for here? You are cultivators of immortals, aren't you here to find some monsters? ”

The two women glanced at each other, and Wang Jing replied to Zhang Mingxin with a smile: "This lake is so weird, maybe there is a demon, wait for me and my sister to catch it, let you roast it, and see if it tastes good." ”

"Ah, youkai, can you eat it too?" Zhang Mingxin was startled and almost fell into the water

"Why can't you, demons can eat people, people, of course, can also eat demons. The beast meat you roast tastes good, and the roasted demon meat must be not bad either. Wang Jing teased Zhang Mingxin's smiling face and chuckled.

"Demons may not eat people, immortals, but if you want to eat people, you don't need to roast them on fire, just eat them raw!" From the gray mist in the direction where the three of them were walking, a clear whisper suddenly came.

"What people!" Wang Jing was startled, quickly pinched a trick with both hands, and pointed in the direction of the sound, the golden wheel hanging beside him immediately hung sharply, flying out in the direction he pointed, and the sound of breaking the sky pierced the silent lake shore, and the gray mist was quickly cut by the golden wheel on both sides.

A long arm stretched out from the mist, and the white jade palm wrapped in extremely white light moved forward, and the thin fingers opened slightly, pushing towards the golden wheel, and the gray mist behind the arm instantly rushed like the wind, and swept towards the front of the palm. "Bang", the golden light won a big victory, but in the end was pressed down by the white light, the golden wheel was repelled by the man in the fog, the power of the golden wheel only blew away some of the gray mist that wrapped the person in the fog, white sleeves, white clothes, black hair, graceful and thin, with a clear voice like a bell, is a young girl with excellent youth.

"What if, I'm not a human, I'm an immortal?"
