Chapter 18. The tragedy of Shu

After a long twist and turn along the way, Tianxiang saw that Luo Xuan's face was not good, and he did not dare to mention the battle between the two armies.

Although Luo Xuan's heart was stunned, he saw that the mirror-like mountain walls on both sides were reflecting his lava appearance at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel gloomy in his heart, and said: "Master is unrecognizable now, how can you and that gluttonous person recognize me before?"

"The king of the dead is greedy because he has eaten the flesh and bones of the divine soldiers, and he has already had seven senses, and he can perceive anyone's memories and thoughts, the master was worried about Xiaofeng all the way just now, and the excessive feelings have already overflowed the spirit body, and he easily noticed that Xiaofeng is the life of the master's heart, which turned my head into her, and the result was indeed the master's plan. And because my heart was eaten by him, I shared my mind with him, so I also recognized you from Master's memory, and he also knew Master's name. Speaking of this, Tianxiang paused and said softly: "Master, now that you are in charge of the Divine Essence of the Alien Element, you must lock your mind firmly in the future, so that your thoughts and thoughts will not be noticed by the outside spirits, otherwise, if the rest of the people find out that Xiaofeng is the master's constraint, those who intend to seize the essence of the Divine Essence will probably compete to use her to blackmail the master, so that no matter whether Xiaofeng is in the underworld or not, she will not be at peace in the future." ”

Luo Xuan nodded again and again, secretly blaming himself for being careless, and immediately tightened his head in the heavenly phase and flew high, passing through the long mountain corridor, passing the vast Moon Lake, and arriving at the top of the Soul Mountain in less than three moments.

The fire in Zhoushan was still strong, the air was burned to a sizzling sound, Luo Xuan poured down the black jade conosone flask in the air, and the six thousand Qiyin divine soldiers attacked the hungry army all over the mountains like a tsunami, and the hungry soldiers were caught off guard by the counterattack of the divine soldiers, plus the gluttony was dead, and the demons were leaderless, and it didn't take long for a mess to make a mess. Qiyin Shenbing was well-trained, and I saw them attack like lightning, taking the lead in burrowing into the bodies of the first-class corpses and the gray-red second-class corpses, and soon won more with less, occupying the advantage of the scene.

At this time, the Garan Temple had come out of the alien realm, and the heavy temple body smashed heavily to the ground, full of dust and smoke. Luo Xuan carried the head of the heavenly phase and jumped into the hall from the window lattice in the temple.

Everyone was ready to go, Luo Guan woke up early in the morning, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Luo Xuan was safe and sound.

"How is the battle situation of the Qiyin soldiers?" asked in a hurry, Luo Xuan pushed open the closed temple door with his palm, and the cold wind suddenly roared through, only to see that thousands of corpses controlled by the Qiyin spirit outside the temple were lined up, using their bodies as shields to open a vast path along the foot of the mountain. As soon as these hungry soldiers possessed by the Qiyin soldiers saw the twelve banner immortals appear, they all nodded at them.

Wan Yan Min flew to the top of the temple and replied to the army. Luo Guanqing picked up the frail Duan Keqing, Wan Yanmin turned around and carried Wu Yixun on his back, the banner masters supported Wu Langhuan on a stretcher, and the group followed the plank road protected by the six thousand Qiyin soldiers with their stumps, and strode towards the foot of the Soul Mountain in the morning light.

"Uncle Yan, where are we going?"

"Let's go to Shushan. Now there is only one day and night left before the soul of the martial banner master is dispersed, we must rush to the Touyang Cave in the hinterland of the desolate world before noon tomorrow, and crossing the starvation domain at the foot of Shu Mountain is the only shortcut, fortunately, at this moment, the corpses are all delayed on the soul mountain by the Qiyin Corps, and when they pass through the starvation domain later, they will not make a sound when they see anything. Luo Xuan and Wan Yanmin glanced at each other and instructed the girl Wu Yixun.

The little girl was stunned for a moment and said, "I know, I don't look at anything." As he spoke, he covered his head with his shoulders and lay motionless on Wan Yanmin's back.

As they expected, when they arrived at the Hunger Domain, the stone gate at the entrance of the domain was wide open, and the hollow inside was vast and lonely, and the darkness of the forest was endless. Everyone rushed in, and it was easy for the sight to get used to it. Vaguely see the stone peaks in the domain, the stalactites are rugged, all kinds of sheep intestines and ghosts are arrogant, extending in all directions, watching the battle not only across Shu Mountain, I am afraid that even the entire underworld is swallowed by this hungry ghost domain. The ground was full of stumps and bones, mourning corpses were everywhere, and the mountain walls were full of bloody red and smelly.

But it's also strange. The Hunger Domain was originally an extremely cold place, but as soon as the group stepped into the Death Domain, they felt that an indescribable heat and anxiety were enveloped in all directions, as if heaven and earth had hidden a huge furnace here, but the lid of the furnace had not yet been opened.

The wreckage was not full of human bones, even the huge beasts of the Desolate Realm, such as the nocturnal owl, the seven-tailed crocodile, and the carnivorous beast, were not spared, and all kinds of creatures were dragged into the domain cave by this group of starving people to tear and devour. The deeper he went, the heavier the smell of blood, and the bones all over the ground were softened by this inexplicable high temperature, exuding bursts of indescribable meat fragrance, mixed with the thick smell of blood, and he was so disgusting that he couldn't settle down at all.

Everyone covered their snorts, but there was a long and mournful sound outside the cave, hungry and thirsty, "The hungry people are coming, close the cave door!" Luo Xuan frowned and ordered to the rear, and the two people at the end of the team immediately closed the two heavy stone doors, and as soon as they fell with a bang, the overwhelming roars of the hungry people hit the stone wall outside.

Several people in the cave were shocked, and turned to face the bottomless dark domain, and the sound of uneasy heartbeats was particularly eye-catching, "Go." Luo Xuan raised his arms and sleeves, and a refining fire lit up in his palm, leading everyone to fly towards the depths of the Hunger Domain.

The depths of the Dead Domain are vast and cold, and the eight elephants are strange, and the road becomes more and more winding and twisting, extending infinitely downward to the depths of the earth's core, like a huge tongue covered with countless blood-stained moss, trying to swallow all living beings into the belly of hell.

The scorching heat gradually subsided as the surface deepened, but the mountain walls on both sides were still very steaming. Everyone walked forward with bated breath all the way, the speed under their feet became faster and faster, Luo Xuan heard the breathing of the little girl Wu Yixun becoming more and more rapid, she always buried her head tightly on Wan Yanmin's back, and she didn't dare to take a breath, but the afterglow leaking from the corners of her eyes swept around, searching for Wu Langhuan's stretcher in panic.

Luo Xuan also looked at the mother on his father's shoulder, what is the magic of the natural medicine, only a few hours, her spirit has all recovered, and the boundless darkness is reflected in a white satin.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a faint light at the end of the tunnel, and the group immediately became energetic when the exit was about to arrive. At this moment, a woman's cry suddenly sounded in the dark and boundless domain cave.

The cry came from far and near, sobbing intermittently, complaining and ethereal, Wan Yanmin and his father both frowned and stopped.

There are no living creatures in the Hungry Domain, why is there a woman's cry? Could it be that the people of Xiayuan who were caught in the Domain by the hungry people in the past? How can they survive in the depths of the Hunger Domain?

Everyone was nervous for a while, Luo Xuan beckoned to Fan Huang, the owner of the wooden flag, to step forward, and the two of them opened the way left and right to cautiously probe the source of the crying in front.

The place where the fire refining on the arm shines, but the passage of the domain cave has been exhausted so far, and in front of it is a high-profile cave that suddenly opens up, this cave stretches for hundreds of miles from top to bottom, and the radius stretches for hundreds of miles, which is as big as the entire Shushan mountain.

"I didn't expect it to be empty in Shu Mountain!" Fan Huang looked up and down for a while, and exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Xuan pointed to his lips to signal him to silence, the crying continued, and the two of them slowly lifted along the tall cave rock wall, but saw a huge wide rock protruding more than ten meters in front of them, and a touch of crimson color was lying in the middle, trembling faintly, looking at the figure, it was clearly a woman.

Luo Xuan and Fan Huang flew to both sides of the stone rock respectively, suspended in the air, and the woman on the rock buried her head and sobbed, without any intention of getting up. Seeing this, Fan Huang rubbed his two fingers in front of him, and suddenly his fairy eyes opened, and the spiritual light shone brightly, shining directly on the rock wall behind the woman, but there was a strange and strange reflection on it, and its shape was neither human nor beast.

Seeing this, Fan Huang grabbed the bow and crossbow in his hand, and the crossbow head pointed directly at the woman and said sharply: "Who is the demon, who dares to pretend to be a ghost here?"

The man on the rock shuddered and stopped crying, but he never looked up. Seeing that Fan Huang was about to raise a crossbow, Luo Xuan hurriedly took a step and said, "Girl, I am passing by, and there is no malice, so it is better to get up and speak." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the woman in crimson clothes suddenly raised her head and shouted in the direction of Luo Xuan: "Brother Wan, Brother Wan, are you back? Why don't you make a sound?"

Seeing her appearance and figure, Luo Xuan was surprised and suddenly retreated. Her face seemed to have been smelted in a furnace, and her facial features were melting, her skin was cracked, and she was extremely weird and ugly.

Fan Huang shook his head again and again, his eyes were extremely disgusted, but the woman did not hesitate to open her arms and pounce on Luo Xuan, "Brother Luo be careful!" Fan Huang raised his eyebrows and raised his bow to hit her head, "Slow!" Before Luo Xuan could say anything, the scarlet-clothed woman was hit with a crossbow on her back, and the blood spurting out of her mouth was not cold, and her body had rushed out of the broken rock, falling straight down like a sandbag with a broken line.

Luo Xuan chased after her, held her back to the rock in mid-air, Fan Huang couldn't help but say that he was going to move the crossbow again, "Stop!" Luo Xuan opened Fan Huang's offensive with a sleeve: "She's pregnant!"

Luo Xuan picked up the woman in the scarlet shirt and placed it in her arms, highlighting her abdomen, which was already high and erect, not to mention that she had more than five or six months of pregnancy. Fan Huang was stunned for a moment, the huge bow and crossbow were blunt in the air, and he had no claim for a while.

"Brother Wan, Brother Wan. The woman in her arms dragged Luo Xuan's placket all the way, and a cold soft wattle quickly climbed up to his face, groping around, Luo Xuan instinctively avoided it, but she immediately stopped after touching Luo Xuan's face, and her horror was no less than that of anyone who touched the molten spirit:

"You're not Brother Wan! But I obviously smell Brother Wan's smell on you, you... What happened to Brother Wan?"

"It's me, I've been with Gluttony for a while, and the smell you smell is what he left on me," At this moment, it was Luo Xuan's Tianxiang head under his right armpit: "Who are you, King Gluttony?"

The woman in the scarlet shirt was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand to brush the head of the celestial phase, and when she touched his empty broken neck, she suddenly retracted it like an electric shock, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I understand... Did he do it? Where is he now?"

Chen Tianxiang looked up at Luo Xuan, Luo Xuan looked into the lifeless pupils of the woman in the scarlet shirt, shook his head at him, and Tianxiang's head swallowed and said, "Gluttony is still outside the cave." This is my master, he saved me from the gluttony, and you haven't answered yet, what do you have to do with that greed?"

When the girl in the scarlet shirt heard this, a fleeting fright and sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes, and her lips trembled at the moment, and she said, "He is my brother." ”

"What's your name?"

"Gluttonous. ”

Seeing that the girl responded timidly, frightened, and blind, Luo Xuan put her back on the rock, looked up at the empty rock veins overhead, and saw that three or four slender rays of sunlight had penetrated the rock, and immediately said to everyone: "The way out is in front of us, let's leave as soon as possible, don't delay the hour!"

"But the pregnancy in her womb is still a corpse, and I have seen it clearly with my fairy eyes, how can I keep such an evil obstacle?" Fan Huang still held the big bow in his hand, and had no intention of backing down.

"No! I am carrying an ordinary son of man in my womb, and it is my body that covers him! After this child is a human man who has fallen into the realm by mistake, I beg all the gods and immortals, you have great mercy and let my mother and son live!" The girl heard that Fan Huang raised the giant bow again, and immediately burst into tears, prostrate on the ground and knock non-stop.

"The fetus conceived in the body of a dead girl, even if it is born, it is half human and half dead, and the nature of eating bones and drinking blood will one day control it. But it was Wan Yan Min who stood behind him and said to Luo Xuan in a deep voice.

Luo Xuan looked back, and all the immortals nodded after hearing what Yan Min said, Fan Huang immediately took the giant bow towards the girl again, and the girl knew that it would be useless to ask for more, but she calmed down. Her eyes showed despair, but her expression was unusually calm, she only pricked up her ears and stared straight in the direction where Fan Huang had come, her hands clasped tightly on her stomach.

"Slow! After the combination of human beings and deaths, they do not have full murderous nature, can't they be educated and reformed, strictly prevented, and must be killed by killing pregnant women?" Seeing Fan Huang advancing step by step, but the immortal banners had no intention of mediating, Luo Xuan was angry in his heart, and held Fan Huang's arm hard to prevent him from stepping forward, Fan Huang was restrained by him, and he also glared angrily.

As long as he is forbidden to eat the first bite of raw meat and drink the first drop of blood, he will not lose his humanity and can live his life in human form in peace and sound. There are many cross-border combined beings in the Several Realms, and their survival methods are probably like this, and after human death, it will be no exception. Luo Guanqing spoke calmly at this time.

"But if this murderous woman's life is spared, after we leave today, she gives birth to a demon fetus, who will take care of and supervise it, and ensure that she will not eat human flesh for the rest of her life? Who can guarantee that this demon fetus will not become a second gluttonous in the future?" Fan Huang frowned and asked, his eyes swept to the scarlet shirt girl on the side, and when he heard him say this, his body trembled, he gritted his teeth, and suddenly stood up from the ground, as if he had made some major decision.

"The rank of immortal is on top, and the murder girl is willing to guarantee with her life, and she will not let my child eat a mouthful of raw meat or a drop of blood for the rest of her life!" Seeing Fan Huang's stubbornness, Gluttony held his stomach, groped for the stone wall, and moved to the edge of the rock with difficulty. At this moment, she has thrown away her fear, but in her eyebrows but a touch of beauty, she stretched out her arms, and countless torches suddenly lit up on the hideous rock walls on all sides, illuminating the entire inner wall of Shu Mountain.

But hearing her sonorous words, she raised her voice like never before: "Everyone only said that my clan is the most humble spirit in the Nine Realms, born ruthless, unrighteous, ignorant and untrustworthy, but the reason why the clan has become today's clan and has fallen into such a field is definitely not what my clan wants!"

This wall is full of firelight, and when it shines, everyone discovers that the entire inner wall of Shushan is a pair of painted murals that are linked from end to end! This huge painting is made up of thousands of smaller murals crocheted with each other, and they stretch for hundreds of miles from top to bottom, each of which is engraved vividly. The ink on the mural was heated by the firelight, and they secreted a pungent smell, but it turned out that these murals were painted with blood, and then looked closely, the painters all followed the order of the flow of time, drawn all the way down from the top of Shushan Mountain, and the various characters and dynamics in it were meticulously painted, as if someone carefully recorded a number of world events with the inner wall of Shushan.

"Rank Immortal Ying only needs to look at these murals to understand why our clan fell here and lived by eating flesh and drinking blood. Tao Yi lowered his arms, and the cold voice reverberated back and forth in the huge empty mountain, but it was not difficult for Luo Xuan to hear a trace of sadness in his heart.

Looking at the mural, the entire Shu Mountain was silent, and even the bow and crossbow in Fan Huang's hand quietly disappeared.

Painted by Shu wall: Shu Mountain, formerly known as Taihua Mountain, is located in the west longitude of the mountains and seas for 60 miles, which is a place where the immortals gather and are full of vitality. In the 1381st year of the Qiankun Chronicle, the nine suns were worth the heavenly stems, and all living beings were unbearable to be scorched, and the lives were devastated. God Emperor Xin Tianquan ordered the martial god Hou Yi to shoot down the Eight Yangs, and the remnants of the Eight Yang were handed over to the immortal masters of the four mountains in the east, west, south, and north of the fairy realm to escort them to Buzhou Mountain and seal them forever. Unexpectedly, when the four immortal lords drove the prisoner car through this place, it was the 500-year-old Shushan Immortal Festival, and Tao Yi, the sister of Tao Lan, the real person of Taihua, danced in court, and was shocked for eight days, and the four immortal lords who were in important positions only cared about greed, and accidentally made the prisoner car crash into the ridge, and the eight suns fell one after another, and instantly burned Shushan and tens of thousands of immortals into ashes. The four immortal lords were afraid that the situation would be exposed, and they would be severely punished by the gods, so they did not stop doing anything, and worked together to seal the entire Taihua Shu Mountain and the immortals in the mountain into the underworld, and planted a fake Shu Mountain in the world, and each sent his disciple Xiancong to the mountain to reorganize the sect and multiply, creating the illusion that Shu Mountain is still there, and since then it has been hidden from the world.

The souls of Shushan who were sealed under the lower plains, because they were sealed in the mountains together with the remnants of the eight yangs, could neither escape reincarnation, nor could they break the seal to drive away the poison, so they had to suffer the scorching poison of the eight cool suns day and night, and the original pure fairy spirits were distorted and eroded by the yang poison for a long time, gradually lost their nature, faded the memory of the fairy world, and finally mutated into a low-level creature with only thirst and devouring instinct---- the soul of the dead.

Who would have thought that in a quiet and peaceful warm autumn festival in ancient times, they were just a group of people in a fairyland who lived in a paradise?

"After Shushan was beaten into the underworld, countless immortals were reduced to living deaths, and because the domain gate was sealed and there was no way out, everyone had to stay in Shushan and kill each other. My brother was greedy to keep me safe, so he found this place that condensed the yin and ice of Shushan and let me live alone. Behind this mountain wall is where the Wanzai glacier of Shushan is located, and the heat poison of Bayang cannot completely erode this place, so I can retain my memory and spiritual sense, but my body is still gradually transforming, and my eyes are burned blind as early as when Bayang falls on Shushan. In order to save me from danger, my brother took advantage of the opportunity of this battle between the Alien Yuan Army and the Underworld Army to lead the whole region to dispatch, with the intention of occupying the lower plains and freeing the clansmen from the suffering of yang poison. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Yi paused, and his voice softened: "Poor my brother Tao Lan, who was originally the honor of Shu Dao Immortal Mountain, but suddenly fell here, in order not to make the great grievances of Shu Mountain buried in the smoke of the Nine Realms, he painted these murals in the inner wall of Shu Mountain, in order to remind himself of the truth of the year. For thousands of years, he had to shuttle day and night through the poisonous land of the Eight Suns because he prevented his clansmen from killing each other in the Death Domain, and he had already been harmed to the point that his form and spirit had changed, and the memory of the Immortal Sect had gradually faded, and as he grew older, he thought that he was born a martyr, the lowest in the Nine Realms, and it was his nature to eat flesh and blood. ”

She took a long breath, and two lines of clear tears slipped silently from her strange and deformed face: "At the beginning, my brother would come to see me regularly and bring me food to drive away poison, but when I met him by chance in the domain a hundred years ago, it happened that he led the crowd to eat a few woodcutters who fell into the domain from the top of the mountain, and he has completely changed... I waited for the opportunity to save the last man, and hid him here for more than forty years, until he died, and the flesh and blood of my womb were the same man. I have been pregnant for nearly 90 years, and the fetal gas has matured, but I dare not give birth because I am afraid that the cry of the baby will lead to other starvation. Today, you have broken into the Death Domain, if you are sent by the Immortal Lord of the Four Realms of Mountains and Seas to exterminate our Lingyuan and kill people, please do it now, I and my children have nowhere to escape anyway;

Hearing her this, Luo Xuan bowed his head and said: "Miss Tao, don't worry, I have nothing to do with the four masters of mountains and seas," he turned to face the banner immortals who did not say a word: "Everyone, now the truth is clear, the martyr clan originated from the Immortal Sect, and fell here because of the overturning and harm, if the banner masters take one more life today, wouldn't it be the same kind of cannibalism, and even make the Shushan clan feel wronged?"

"Slaughtering the same clan is a taboo in the fairy world, the crime is to destroy the door, and the matter is related to the east, west, south, and north of the four realms of the immortal master, this time the matter is big, the authenticity is still doubtful, it should indeed be reported to the gods, and the truth inside should be strictly investigated. Okay, he will leave this woman's life for the time being, and he will be a witness to the disaster of Shushan extermination. After Yan Min pondered for a moment, he ordered: "Fan Huang, you take her, let's go." ”

As soon as Yan Min finished speaking, Luo Xuan suddenly felt a scorching heat behind him, and turned his head to look, just as a huge sea of fire was roaring through the sky!

The vast light wave of Jusheng Purgatory from the bottom to the sky, from all directions, from the rock wall up and down, from the depths of the cave majestically rushed towards everyone, and in an instant the entire Shu Mountain became a huge hollow chimney, gunsmoke, scorching streams, flames, rock ash, and charred corpses all exploded together, and the smoke and dust in the sky jumped in, engulfing everything.

"Noon has arrived! The Eight Yang Yuan Shen has woken up, quick, you quickly seek to hide!" came a loud exclamation from the scorching heat, and all the banner masters used their skills to protect their bodies, scattering in all directions, each hurriedly looking for a raised rock or a hole in the wall to cover himself. Luo Xuan and Luo Guanqing hid Duan Keqing behind a piece of limestone, the space was narrow and could not accommodate three people, Luo Xuan saw that his father turned around and wanted to leave after putting down his mother, and hurriedly held him down.

Just as Wan Yan Min beckoned to them in a hole in the shadow of the mountain wall, Luo Xuan jumped over and bowed down into Wan Yan Min's hole.
