Chapter 20: Conflict
Ten days, Mo Wen can complete the journey in five days at full speed, because of Zhang Xiaofan's burdensome life, it took ten days to come to the foot of Kongsang Mountain.
However, after these ten days of flight, Zhang Xiaofan has made great progress in the method of controlling the sky, although he can't play acrobatics in the air like Mo Wen, but he also flies well.
At noon on that day, the people came to the edge of the wilderness about 300 miles from the Kongsang Mountain.
"Senior Brother Mo, this is the masterpiece of those beasts?" Qi Hao looked at the large wasteland and the lush woods behind him, and his face was angry.
Indeed, the contrast is a bit stark.
"Nature." Mo Wen spread his hands, "Didn't Master say that those vampire bats have made Kongsang Mountain desolate within five hundred miles, but the two or three hundred miles near Kongsang Mountain are even more desolate, and the living things are basically eaten by those beasts." ”
"Those vampire bats came out at night, I want to go and see it, can Senior Brother Mo lead the way?" Qi Hao's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Let's go together." At this time, Lu Xueqi also spoke.
What is this? Even if I tell you the danger or hit it headlong? The inertia of fate? Forget it, it's not dangerous anyway. 】
"That's fine, Senior Brother Qi has the Liuhe Mirror in his hand, so we are naturally not afraid of those beasts." Mo Wen thought about it and agreed.
"Then let's go." Qi Hao drew the sword trick and took off, and Lu Xueqi immediately followed.
"Xiaofan, let's go." Mo Wen stepped on the cloud shadow.
……
At dusk, Qi Hao and his entourage of four arrived at Kongsang Mountain, where there was no grass on the mountain, desolate and weird, and with the dim sunshine, it looked particularly bleak.
"Senior Brother Mo, where are the lairs of those beasts?" Qi Hao looked around, then turned his head and asked Mo Wen.
"Senior Brother Qi, you can show the Liuhe Mirror." Mo Wen found a relatively clean place and sat down, "Those guys will come to us at night." ”
"Just according to Senior Brother Mo's words." Qi Hao glanced at Mo Wen deeply, raised the Liuhe Mirror, and protected the four of them.
"Let's all rest, otherwise it won't be good if you run out of strength at night." Mo Wen closed his eyes as he spoke, and began to practice.
Qi Hao, Zhang Xiaofan, and Lu Xueqi glanced at each other, and then learned from him to find a stone and sit cross-legged.
……
When the sunset slowly sank into the distant mountains, and when there seemed to be only one light source left in the sky and the earth, the faint sound of "crackling" came from the air, and it became louder and louder.
"Senior Brother Qi, those brutes are here." Mo Wen didn't get up, opened one eye, and saw a black "dark cloud" slowly moving towards them.
"This ......," Qi Hao swallowed, "There are so many vampire bats?" ”
"Nature." Mo Wen's face was still the same, after all, this was not the first time he had seen this kind of scene, "So if there is no Hexagram Mirror of Senior Brother Qi, we can only escape if we encounter these beasts." ”
"Don't go out of the confines of this lens." Qi Hao's face turned pale, "Senior Brother Mo, since you know ......"
"Senior Brother Qi, it's okay, I can't wait for these vampire bats, and these vampire bats can't hurt us." Mo Wen took out a water bag from his arms (storage space), took two sips, and continued, "Even if we don't have a hexagram mirror, we can still rush out...... I tried. ”
As soon as these words came out, the three people next to them were stunned.
"Don't ask, you say...... You said you and these vampire bats ......," Zhang Xiaofan asked first.
"Yes, when I was looking for magic weapon materials, I went to the 'Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave', which is our destination. Then I had bad luck when I came out, and it was exactly daytime. Mo asked to spread his hands, "There are still demon demons chasing after him, so he can only play with his life." ”
"Senior Brother Mo is really courageous." Qi Hao's eyes when he looked at Mo Wen were also a little more admiring at this time.
"Senior Brother Qi has an overreputation, although these animals are cruel, they are also stupid." Mo Wen smiled, "Soon they will come to seek death." ”
"Bumper!" The vampire bats hit the faint circle of light emitted by the hexagram like a human building bomb, and the bat corpses continued to slide down the wall of light, stinking blood and sharp fangs...... Zhang Xiaofan was about to vomit.
"These animals are really vicious." Qi Hao's face was not good-looking, "How can I kill them?" ”
"It's not easy to do, there are too many of these bats, even if there are seniors who can clear this group of beasts with great mana, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net...... In a few years, it will still be a scourge. Mo Wen shrugged helplessly, "So no seniors came here." ”
"It's a pity." Qi Hao sighed and stopped talking.
The sun slowly smiled again, and during this time, the vampire bats also launched various attacks, but apart from leaving countless corpses, they failed to cause any damage to Qi Hao and the others...... Finally, in the face of the sun's scorching, these ferocious creatures reluctantly returned to the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave.
"Whew...... They probably won't come. Qi Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to withdraw the defense of the Liuhe Mirror.
"Don't! I'll go! As soon as Mo Wen wanted to stop it, he found that Qi Hao had removed the aperture, and the bat corpse and fishy blood immediately poured towards the four of them.
At this time, Mo Wenyi gritted his teeth and directly inserted the cloud shadow on the ground, and the four of them erected an earthen wall with a brush, blocking the surging fishy fluid...... But a small part still splashed out and poured on the four people.
"Hey...... Tragedy, find a place to wash. Mo Wen looked at Lu Xueqi, who grabbed Zhang Xiaofan's hand, and his heart sank, but he suggested to the three of them casually.
"A moment of neglect, a moment of neglect." Qi Hao was also embarrassed at the moment.
"Let's go, there is no water on this mountain." Mo Wen was about to rise up with his sword, but he heard the sound of breaking through the sky.
Mo Wen raised his head, and four rays of light were flying towards them, two yellow, one white and one green.
"Someone's coming...... It should be people from those two factions. Mo Wen narrowed his eyes.
Four rays of light immediately fell on the earthen wall that Mo Wen had recruited, turning into four people, two monks, one of whom had a beautiful face, and the other had a fleshy face; There is one man and one woman left, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes.
"Amitabha, are the four donors under the Qingyun Sect?" The delicate monk recited the Buddha's name.
"Exactly, I'm under Qi Hao, may I ask who you are......" The four of them glanced at each other, and Qi Hao came out of the crowd.
The young monk smiled slightly: "The little monk is the Dharma Minister of Tianyin Temple, this is my junior brother Fa Shan, and the two next to him are Li Xun and Yan Hong, the outstanding disciples of Incense Valley. ”
"I've seen all the Daoist brothers of Qingyun." The Dharma Wound Urn greeted angrily, and the four Qingyun immediately returned the salute, but the two "high disciples" of the Incense Valley only nodded slightly, looking extremely arrogant......
【Young People...... It's not a good thing to have your eyes above the top. Mo Wen's mood became more and more unhappy.
Seeing this, Qi Hao ignored the two and talked to Fa Xiang.
"Senior Brother Qi, you Qingyunmen have always regarded yourself as the leader of the righteous path, and the Taoist true law is unique in the world, why are you so embarrassed by this little vampire bat today?" Li Xun was left to hang aside for a long time, his face was very ugly, and the exit was a gun with a stick.
"Whether the Taoism is unique in the world, you will know it by trying. Your Excellency is the handsome man of Incense Valley, would you like to accompany me to make two moves? Mo Wen looked at him coldly and mentioned Yunying.
Mo Wen has been in a bad mood since he saw Lu Xueqi holding Zhang Xiaofan's hand, Li Xun appeared like the eldest and my second child, which aroused the anger in Mo Wen's heart, and now he can't help it anymore and is ready to vent with him.
"Haha, I'll be with you naturally." Li Xun laughed twice as if he had heard something funny, and happily accepted Mo Wen's challenge.
"The two donors must not be heavy-handed, we will explore the Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Caves together." Seeing that the two of them were like fire and water, Fa Xiang was not easy to persuade much, so he had to remind the two of them that they still had the main task.
"I know...... I won't deceive you, you can make a move first. Li Xun was holding a Jiuyang ruler with a proud face. But your magic weapon with your fellow disciples is really interesting, is it a stick? Qingyunmen is now popular to use sticks to make treasures? ”
[Arrogance, and poisonous tongue attributes, you deserve Lu Xueqi to look down on you. Feeling Yunying's anger, Mo Wen narrowed his eyes and snorted softly, "Senior Brother Li, I'm offended!" ”
Swish! Mo Wen's body burst out with huge spiritual power.
[This Qingyun disciple's cultivation is so high! Li Xun's eyes widened, he protected the Jiuyang ruler in front of his chest, let go of his senses, and was wary of Mo Wen's attack.
"Whoosh!" A thorn shot at Li Xun from the earthen wall under Li Xun's body.
[Oops! Li Xun hurriedly jumped into the air, and was about to fight back, but found that a multicolored sword light containing majestic spiritual power was slashing head-on with unparalleled might.
"Jiuyang Talisman!" Li Xun shouted, and the magic weapon Jiuyang Ruler emitted a dazzling red light, forming a wall of light blocking the colorful sword rays.
There was no loud sound, no eruption of airflow, and the spiritual power in the multicolored sword light suddenly faded before colliding with the red light, as if it had never existed, and then the sword light merged into the red light like a drop of water into the sea, without stirring up a little wave.
Li Xun's heart sank to the bottom.
"You've lost." Mo Wen appeared behind Li Xun at some point, and gently put the cloud shadow on Li Xun's neck. "Also, my cloud shadow is not a stick."
"I ...... Lost? Li Xun still couldn't believe all this.
Li Xun didn't lose unjustly, after all, Mo Wen had countless more fighting experience than him, and he stood on top of Mo Wen's spell from the beginning, without the geographical advantage, Mo Wen's cultivation was still two points higher than him, and a false sword directly deceived his attention; What's more, Mo Wen's last form was completely approached by Li Xun, who was completely close with physical strength, and Li Xun, who was used to feeling the spiritual power of his opponent, naturally couldn't find Mo Wen's traces, and was subdued by one move.
"My Qingyun Dao is broad and profound, Your Excellency feels it?" Mo Wen collected the sword, "I believe that the Incense Valley also has a peerless knowledge, but Your Excellency just lacks experience in fighting methods." "In short, you are a big rookie, you have wasted your good talents and disgraced the Incense Valley.
“…… Taught. Li Xun's face turned pale for a while, and finally he gave Mo a hand.
"This Senior Brother Mo is really a genius." Seeing that the two of them had separated the winners and losers so quickly, the two of them were still not injured, and finally put down a big stone in their hearts.
"Don't dare, Senior Brother Faxiang is the one who has advanced cultivation." Mo asked modestly. It's almost under the fire, and Mo Wen's impression of the Fa Xiang is still very good.
"Okay, we've been fighting these bats all night, how about I'll wait to enter the 'Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave' tomorrow morning?" Qi Hao suggested.
"It's okay, there's a clear spring thirty miles away here, let's go there and rest first." Fa Xiang said.
"But it's up to Senior Brother Fa to arrange."
……
After the Qingyun people finished freshening up, the charm value that had fallen due to the blood of the bats on their bodies rose back, especially Lu Xueqi, which made Li Xun even more stunned.
Finding that Li Xun looked like a pig brother, Lu Xueqi's face flashed with anger, and at this time, Yan Hong couldn't stand it anymore, but coughed lightly, and pulled back Li Xun's soul that didn't know where to float.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Fa Xiang told everyone what he had discovered during his visit.
“…… Those beasts hang in the cave of ten thousand bats during the day and go out to hunt for food in the evening, and I plan to try it in the cave during the day tomorrow...... I just don't know if those beasts will attack us. "The minister told his plan.
"Senior Brother Faxiang doesn't have to worry." Mo Wen said, "I have entered this Ten Thousand Bat Ancient Cave, as long as I don't disturb them during the day, those bats will indeed not attack people." ”
"Amitabha, that's very good."
"Senior Brother Faxiang, I still have something to ask for." Qi Hao suddenly remembered that there were other people from his sect who came here.
"Oh? Senior Brother Qi, but it doesn't matter. ”
"Three months ago, my Qingyun Sect Changmen disciple, Senior Brother Xiao Yicai, has come here first, I don't know where he is now?"
"Senior Brother and I have only met the two of Incense Valley, and we have never met Senior Brother Xiao." Fa Xiang shook his head.
"That's right." Qi Hao glanced at Mo Qian, and then stopped speaking.
