Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ancient Cave Suppression of Demons, Secrets of Southern Xinjiang
In the evening of the same day, deep in the Black Forest of the 100,000 Great Mountains.
Mo Wen, who had changed his clothes and hastily treated his wounds, used secret techniques to shield the bloody qi emitted from the wounds, and then avoided the dense demon beasts and found a hidden tree hole to hide.
There are few people in the Black Forest, and giant trees that are hundreds of years old can be seen everywhere, and the tree hole Mo Wen found is about three meters wide and two meters high, and the diameter of the huge cedar tree is nearly ten meters thick - there is no such thick tree on Qingyun Mountain, and Mo Wen has only seen plants comparable to it in the inner swamp of death.
[But that sacred tree is really foul...... It can be said that it stands up to the sky. Thinking about the transformation that can be used as a battlefield for giant beasts. Mo Wen, who was cleaning the tree hole, couldn't help but sigh. [But the price is that where the roots spread, there is no grass, and the more powerful the life, the more you have to learn to plunder? γ
After camouflaging the entrance of the cave with the Wooden Dao Technique and laying a defensive warning camouflage array, Mo Wen untied the hasty bandage in the afternoon and began to carefully handle the results of the battle that Shangguan Ce had exchanged for one of his arms.
The scorched wound, which had been infected by oozing blood, had now turned purple-black, and the hideous scabs and carbonized flesh were tangled together, which was extremely ugly.
Mo Wen stared at his right waist, gritted his teeth, stretched out his left index finger, and a transparent ice blade as thin as a cicada's wing slowly emerged from his fingertips.
Long pain is better than short pain, this truth is still clear.
The blue light kept wandering around the wound, the corners of Mo Wen's mouth kept twitching, and pieces of dark solid kept falling on Mo Wen's side...... Finally, after using the ice blade to remove the last blood scab that had congealed on the surface, Mo Wen began to observe the current condition of the wound.
The bright red flesh fluctuated slightly with his breathing, and the irregular sores oozed dark red bloodβit was obvious that Shangguan Ce's blow had injured Mo Wen's vein endings.
[Whew...... It's just that a piece of flesh has been lost, and there are no major problems with the arteries and organs. Mo Wen wiped the sweat from the pain on his forehead. [Fortunately, it's not the worst case.] γ
The left hand gently pressed on the right side of the body for a while, and the blood flow from the sore gradually stopped. After sealing the bloodline, Mo Wen silently took out a white porcelain pot from the storage space, and then poured the liquid into the sore.
"Hiss......" Feeling the hot feeling, Mo Wen gasped, but he didn't stop, first summoning water to wash the wound; Then he took out Qingyun's special healing ointment and applied it evenly to the wound; Finally, I took out a roll of gauze and wrapped the wound carefully.
After doing this, Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the white porcelain pot that was placed aside, and poured a big sip with his head up.
"Ahem......" The hot liquid slid down his throat, and Mo Wen still couldn't get used to the drink after all, so he coughed out in embarrassment.
The transparent liquid falls to the ground and gives off a mellow aroma β just by the smell of it, you can be sure that the contents of this bottle are absolutely rare...... However, Mo Wen doesn't like to drink, and he can't experience that indescribable feeling at all...... It's really a pearl.
"It is said that wine is an artifact to dispel sorrows, but it turns out that it is useless at all......" Mo asked, his cheeks flushed, and he patted Yunying lightly: "You say, why is that old guy in Shangguan Ce working so hard?" In the original book of "Zhu Xian", in order to survive, he even gave up his dignity......"
"Buzz ......"
"I was disgusted with that old guy." Feeling the faint coolness on the wound, recalling the resoluteness of Shangguan Ce's thrilling blow, Mo Wen muttered: "But after this war...... I found that this old thief is much more pleasing to the eye than Yan Hong's woman. β
"Buzz...... Airplanes! β
"I know, there is no right or wrong, it's just that the position is different, everyone has their own shining point." Mo Wen hugged the cloud shadow in his arms tightly: "I just suddenly felt unhappy...... Now, you know what? There was one enemy I particularly admired before. β
"Hum?"
"You haven't seen it. His name is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, not only is he capable, charming, and conviction, but his character and morality are 108,000 miles higher than that of Shangguan and the old thief......"
"Buzz!"
"Huh...... Naturally, it's true, the so-called dragon among people is like that. I wasn't his match at the time...... However, he died at my hands in the end. β
β¦β¦
The next day, Mo Wen, who had recovered nearly eighty percent of his combat strength, continued to embark on a journey to kill the beast god.
After killing Shangguan Ce, who was generous to death, Mo Wen's mood was originally very depressed, even if he confided in Yun Ying for one night, Mo Wen's mood was still not good.
So all the beasts and demons who intercepted Mo Wen all the way were tragic.
Mo Wen, who wanted to vent, did not hide his deeds and let go of the killing. Those demon beasts chasing him couldn't even keep up with the speed of his slaughter, and could only helplessly step on the bloody road paved by the corpses of their companions, but they could never see the shadow of the enemy.
Affected by this, the group of beasts and demons defending the Black Forest shrank significantly, making it a lot easier for Zhang Xiaofan, Jin * Bottle, and Lu Xueqi, who were also sneaking towards the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave.
Although the beast god sitting in the Demon Ancient Cave didn't know what Mo Wen was crazy about this level master, and put down his body to slaughter ordinary beast demons, since he could use cannon fodder to drag the master, the beast god would not be stingy, and sent a large number of beast demons to surround Mo Wen.
Two fists are hard to beat four hands, the tiger is difficult to defeat the group of monkeys, and after feeling that his killing is getting more and more difficult, Mo Wen decisively stopped the slaughter and avoided a large number of beast demons. But at this time, the density of the beast demons in front of Mo Wen had reached a terrifying level, and Mo Wen thought that he was not capable of hiding his body among so many beast demons, so he had to bypass the defense line laid by the beast demon and walked a long way.
As a result, Zhang Xiaofan, Jin Bei'er and Lu Xueqi, who had entered the Black Forest after Mo Wen, walked in front of Mo Wen instead.
β¦β¦
Qingyun Mountain, Big Bamboo Peak.
Tian Buyi looked at the undulating and crisp waves with a worried face.
"It's not easy, what are you thinking?" Su Ru quietly walked up to her short and fat husband, "Why are you frowning?" β
"Senior Brother Daoxuan...... Tian Buyi let out a long sigh: "He hasn't shown up for a month, and it's thanks to Xiao Yi to do it, otherwise I don't know what kind of chaos will become if I pass through Tianfeng." β
"You still suspect that something is wrong with Senior Brother Daoxuan?" Su Ru whispered.
"Hmm." Tian Buyi's face was serious: "Although Senior Brother is an unborn genius, his cultivation method is far beyond ours. But this time, he not only used the Zhuxian Sword Formation, but also violated the ancestral training to open the Heavenly Machine Seal...... I'm really worried about whether he has survived the backlash of the Xuan Immortal Sword Spirit......"
"So what can we do?" Su Ru asked rhetorically: "Now that Senior Brother Daoxuan can't come out of retreat in the back mountain, if he is really fighting against the fierce spirit, we will harm Senior Brother by rushing forward." β
"Hey......" Tian Buyi swore and cursed, "Those damn bastards who came out of the ravine. β
I don't know if he is scolding the beast god or scolding the Incense Valley.
β¦β¦
Two days later, on the outskirts of the Black Forest.
"Senior Brother Zeng, how long are we going to fight these brutes?" Peng Chang, who was returning to the peak, sat on the ground with a tired face: "In the past two days, we have fought bloodily, but we have only advanced less than ten miles...... At this rate, we don't know when we'll find the beast god. β
"Senior Brother Peng, this is also something that can't be helped." Zeng Shushu spread his hands, "Although all the people who came out this time are good hands, how many people are sure to break through this beast tide?" Rushing in is self-defeating! β
"Moreover, there are already other masters who have gone to trouble the beast god." Zeng Shushu looked into the distance: "Let's just do what we have to do." β
At the same time, outside the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave.
[Is this the witch Linglong who sacrificed her life to seal the beast god countless years ago? Zhang Xiaofan looked at the stone statue standing in the shadows, and was suddenly stunned.
"Squeak!" Xiao Gray screamed in warning, and after finding that Zhang Xiaofan didn't react at all, he pulled the hair on Zhang Xiaofan's ear again.
"Shhh Won't you be lighter than a dead monkey......" Zhang Xiaofan immediately returned to his soul and covered his head.
"Hee-hee." Jin Bei'er covered his mouth and chuckled: "Ghost Son, this stone statue is very powerful, didn't I tell you?" β
"Oh!" Zhang Xiaofan flicked the little gray head lightly to show revenge, and then slowly bent down and respectfully bowed like the stone statue.
"What are you doing saluting this statue?" ** Child's eyes rolled: "Do you know this girl?" β
"The predecessors have been high, although it has been thousands of years, it still makes people admire." Zhang Xiaofan walked forward and said lightly.
"Hey! You make it clear. Jin * Bottle hurriedly caught up: "You wait first, ...... here"
Zhang Xiaofan stopped suddenly, and Jin Bei'er swallowed the next words back into his mouth.
A lot of miserable white yin qi suddenly emerged from the black rock at the entrance of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave, and quickly condensed into a vague huge human form.
"Who are you?" As a thunderous sound sounded, the top of the steaming white gas opened a pair of copper bell eyes. "It's you again! Don't you think it was enough to disturb the statue of the mother last time? β
"They were careless last time." Jin Bottler smiled, not embarrassed at all.
"You ......," the fierce spirit glared.
"You are the black tiger who followed the witch Linglong to defeat the beast god back then." Zhang Xiaofan interjected lightly.
ββ¦β¦ Who is it? The fierce spirit's voice suddenly became low.
"Of the seven people who followed Linglong Witch back then, only five went back." Zhang Xiaofan's eyes flickered: "There is only one pair of brothers left but they have not returned to the Wu Clan...... Ancient books in southern Xinjiang record: The eldest brother Black Tiger is loyal and brave, and the second brother Black Wood is stoic, I see that you are very respectful to this statue, even if you are incarnated as a fierce spirit, you are still guarding the left and right, so I guess you are a black tiger. β
A cold murderous aura rose from the fierce spirit's huge body, and the cold gaze shot out by the big eyes of the copper bell was like the sharpest knife. Zhang Xiaofan's face did not change, and he looked at him indifferently.
"Who are you? Why do you know about the past of the Wu Clan? The fierce spirit said word by word, and the icy murderous aura spread, and even the yin wind that whistled out from the ancient cave from time to time stopped.
"The world forgets a lot, but there are still legends that are passed down from mouth to mouth." Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be unconscious, and his tone was calm: "Today's southern Xinjiang, the descendants of the Wu clan, still remember you." β
β¦β¦
An hour later, Lu Xueqi came to the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave. Looking at the ghostly entrance of the cave, the woman in white gritted her teeth and disappeared into the darkness.
Not long after Lu Xueqi entered the cave, Mo Wen appeared next to the stone statue, looked at the witch who could be said to be self-inflicted and shook her head silently, and then grabbed the cloud shadow and rushed into the darkness......
β¦β¦
Bang!
The beast demon that had lost all its vitality fell suddenly, and its originally strong and sturdy body was now only a thin layer of animal skin attached to the skeleton; The bones that could have blocked the slash of the fairy sword magic weapon also became extremely brittle, and when it came into contact with the ground, it was torn apart and turned into shards with skin attached.
Zhang Xiaofan put away the soul devouring and stepped over the bones without changing his face.
[When did he become so strong!] Jin * Bottler is still smiling, but there are turbulent waves in his heart. [If this demon beast wants me to deal with it, it will take a lot of effort, and he only used thirteen breaths to completely suck up the vitality of this demon beast......]
[I used to be slightly inferior to him in cultivation, and now I am even less of his opponent...... It's hard to even escape. Jin * bottled his teeth secretly. [Damn...... It's a terrible feeling of life and death at the hands of people. γ
Just as Jin Jiu'er was distracted, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly stopped and looked at the darkness ahead.
======= ======= a few days ago
The deepest part of the Demon Suppression Ancient Cave.
"How is that possible?! You've become human?!!! "A woman's characteristic sharp tone, with a strong incredulity." Don't you hate humans the most? β
"I ...... I've never hated humans. "A deep male voice, with deep tiredness." My Birth ...... It's all given by humans. β
The firelight flickered, reflecting two faces that were all over the country and the cityβa word that was a little inappropriate to describe a man, but the appearance of this one fit the modifier too well.
The beast god who set off the catastrophe of the world.
The other lady is well-deserved, as a fox spirit who has practiced for more than a thousand years, her charm value has long been broken, and the so-called beauty of upside-down beings is what it says.
The nine-tailed sky fox Xiaobai who is unfathomable.
"What the hell is going on?" Xiaobai is interested...... Curiosity is human...... No, it is the nature of all creatures that produce intelligence, especially females.
"When I first became conscious, I saw her......" The beast god stared at the slowly dancing flames in the brazier in front of him: "At that time, I was not yet formed, and I could only feel a woman watching me in a trance...... Later, as I grew older, I learned her name, which was Linglong. β
"Back then, it was her, in order to pursue immortality, she used the secret art of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang, gathered the evil spirit of heaven and earth in southern Xinjiang, took its essence, and made it for me." A faint smile hung on the corner of the beast god's mouth: "It was really an unforgettable day...... She was by my side every day, doing research, and it was enough for me to be there for her. β
"The good times didn't last long, I didn't consciously absorb the anger between heaven and earth, and I continued to become stronger, and the way she looked at me became cold day by day." The smile on the beast god's face vanished. "After I could barely compete with her, she never smiled at me again."
"I was very confused, I don't know why, what does power mean to me?" The beast god closed his eyes, "I...... I just want to be with her. β
"Can you just say no to her?" Xiaobai asked rhetorically.
"I've said it many times......" the beast god smiled faintly, as if recalling some fond memories, "but she never believed it." β
"Finally one day, she went out for a long time and didn't come back, I couldn't bear the loneliness, broke the ban she set, and walked out of that door."
"I saw many, many people, and they saw me, but they were all terrified and ran for their lives. Then more than a dozen fighters surrounded me and kept attacking, and it was useless for me to explain it......"
Then, a wave of anger came out of my chest, and I ...... Killed. β
"I killed many, many people, and I don't know why. By the time I woke up, Linglong, she was already standing in front of me. β
"Originally, I hoped to explain to her, but she didn't listen, and shot directly at me, her witchcraft is not comparable to those witch warriors, and I was soon beaten to a thousand holes." The beast god smiled bitterly: "But what I didn't expect was that my wounds would absorb the surrounding heaven and earth qi and heal automatically, and I could even feel that every time my injuries healed, my strength would increase by one point." Then she found out about it, and then, for the first time, I saw her desperate expression, which made my heart ache. β
"And then I ran away." The beast god's voice carried a thick bitterness that could not be dissolved: "I fled here, and quickly recovered from my injuries with the help of the anger of heaven and earth, and then returned to the village...... I've always wanted to be with her. β
"It's just that I didn't expect that this was what greeted me." The beast god looked at the pattern engraved on the ground and said softly, "I never thought that such power would exist in the world, and the Eight Fierce Xuanhuo Array and the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons summoned by the Xuanhuo Jian easily destroyed my form...... At that time, although I was immortal, I was also greatly injured and fled back here in embarrassment. β
"When I returned here, I once again took advantage of this unique location to recuperate, and when I was almost recovered, and was about to go to see her secretly, she had already chased the so-called Seven Heroes to this cave, and she personally entered here and found me."
"I still resisted her continuous onslaught, while telling her my feelings and my questions...... This time, she finally answered me. β
"She said that these were all her faults, and she created me, because I was born of the anger of heaven and earth, and I was born with the mission of killing, and if I lived in this world, the people in the world would inevitably suffer from calamity."
"I desperately explained to her that I wouldn't, I just wanted to be with her...... She just smiled wryly and said she knew it too, but what about after she died? β
Xiaobai sighed deeply, life and death were incomparably far away.
"I froze, I never thought she would die, looking at the tears on her face, I gave up resisting, and at that time I suddenly felt that the fire of the Eight Desolation Fire Dragons was not so terrible......" The beast god covered his chest: "At least it won't make me hurt so much here." β
"The anger kept repairing my body, and the flames continued to burn my soul...... After I don't know how long, she suddenly raised her head and asked me what else I wanted. β
"Wish?" The beast god chuckled, "What can I wish?" I said that my only wish was to be with her, and she said no, because I was not a human being, or even a living being, so I was destined not to be together. β
So I told him, 'Then my wish is to become a human)!"
The head of the beast god looked at the pitch-black cave roof, and roared loudly: "I want to become a human!" β
The huge sound wave shook the stone wall and trembled, and the rubble rolled down, and the dust flew down, and it took a long time to calm down, leaving only the sound of rapid breathing.
"Later...... What's wrong? Xiaobai asked blankly.
"She didn't react, I endured the incessant burning of the flames, and I thought I would suffer from the flames forever, and then she moved and stopped the circle."
"I didn't know what she wanted to do, but she looked at her blankly, and she slowly walked up to me, said sorry, and then recited a long spell, and then picked up a small knife and began, began to cut her own flesh......"
"I was stupefied and at a loss...... But even if I was sober, I guess I couldn't stop her, so I could only watch her hurt herself. β
"She built a skeleton out of her own flesh and bones, and then fused my consciousness into it......"
"My perception is getting duller and duller, I can no longer see her, I can only hear her whispered words, she said that this is the last thing she can do for me, and that in the future, if someone finds the five missing bones from this skeleton and puts them in it, they can resurrect me and become a human being."
"She said that she was wrong to seek eternal life, to create me, and to kill countless people; Having an indecent relationship with me is even more wrong than wrong; In the end, he killed me with his own hands...... After that, I couldn't hear clearly, I was dazed, I didn't know when I would wake up, and in this fog, I heard something that I didn't understand very well. β
"I'll always be with you."
"Thousands of years later, I was reborn, walked out of the ancient cave entrance, and saw the statue of Linglong looking at the entrance of the cave......"
[I hugged her. γ
[I see. γ
***
At the entrance of the ancient cave of demon suppression, don't ask after entering the cave.
"You disobeyed your mother's will and resurrected this monster. But why did I let these two men go into the cave today, which was not good for him? The fierce spirit black tiger looked at the darkness that could not be dissolved in the cave and asked in a low voice.
"Why?" A voice full of bitterness slowly emerged as a black-robed figure emerged. "I thought the beast god was not very wrong, so I let him go, but it turned out to be a catastrophe in the world......"
"Do you know wrong?" Black Tiger sneered.
"yes, that's wrong." Kuroki said miserably: "Back then, we were wrong about the art of seeking immortality; Niangniang created the beast god but sealed him, it was Niangniang's mistake; I don't think the beast god is guilty of this, he disobeyed his mother's last order, but he harmed the people, I was wrong......"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong!" Kuroki looked up to the sky and shouted, "We are all wrong! β
The wind whistled out of the dark cavern, drowning out his cries.
