Chapter 338, the deceased

The light, like a strange flower that blooms suddenly in the darkness, illuminates people's eyes. Zhang Xiaofan jumped into the light with everyone, his eyes lit up, and he was surprised by the scene in front of him.

It turned out that the last place they chased just now was a wide and straight passage, outside this passage, there was an incredible huge space, the top of the rock cave was a hundred zhang high, and the ground was ten zhang under the feet, and on the ground not far ahead, there was a huge stone that emitted a strong light, illuminating the entire space.

But the most surprising thing is not the fast boulder, but behind the boulder, in the depths of the light, there is a huge abyss that suddenly opens, the light emitted by this boulder illuminates the dome of the stone cave, but it seems that it cannot penetrate into the abyss behind it for half a minute, and from the air, it is pitch black, and even the other end of this abyss cannot be seen, only a lifeless, eerie darkness.

In front of the boulder, there were three people standing at this moment, one was a bearded man, one was a rather beautiful young woman, and the other was a young man with a pale face and white clothes, with an evil face. The Wild Dog Daoist and his tall companion landed and stood in front of the boulder. Qi Hao saw it in his eyes, saw that those people all had strange appearances, and he didn't dare to be careless, so he greeted the same door and fell down five feet away from everyone under the boulder.

Zhang Xiaofan stood still, looked around, and saw three big characters engraved on the strange luminous boulder with the ancient seal dragon flying phoenix dance:

Necronomicon!

Seeing that the four people of Qingyunmen fell, the few people standing under the boulder did not move, only a bearded man frowned, and said, "Wild dog, Liu Hao, you are too bad." When I met a few Qingyun juniors, I turned out to be like this, and led them to this necromantic abyss! ”

The wild dog Taoist dog blushed and was about to distinguish it, when a middle-aged young woman standing behind the big man glanced at them, and suddenly screamed, "Where is Jiang Laosan?" ”

The wild dog glanced at the people of Qingyunmen. "Death at their hands." ”

"What?" These people, who were originally as stable as Mount Tai, were moved, but it didn't seem that they could kill Jiang Laosan for the sake of the people of Qingyunmen, but the young woman was stunned for a moment, shook her head, and said: "This time, the bloodsucking old demon is investigated, and we can't explain it!" ”

The bearded man groaned, turned to look at the people of Qingyunmen, and said, "Then let's take down these Qingyun juniors and hand them over to the bloodsucking seniors at that time." That's it. ”

The others nodded yes. Seeing that they were so big one by one, Qi Hao was even more cautious, and whispered to the three people behind him: "These people seem to be the masterminds of the Demon Sect here, but I'm afraid that Dao Xing is still above those people just now, everyone should be careful to deal with it." ”

Zhang Xiaofan answered, turned his head, and suddenly saw Lu Xueqi's gaze sweeping over the wound on his shoulder, and he was slightly stunned. Lu Xueqi immediately looked away.

At this moment, the big man stepped forward. Towards the Qingyunmen people: "I advise a few of you to be arrested, lest when we make a move, you will break your bones and tendons, and suffer from flesh and skin!" ”

Qi Hao snorted, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Xueqi behind him say coldly: "Demon clown." Dare to be rampant, today is the time for you to die. ”

Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu high-fived at the same time and said, "Senior Sister Lu said it well, that's exactly the case!" ”

The big man's face changed, and his face was like frost. Leng Ran said: "This is your own death!" ”

I didn't see how he moved, just glared at the four of them, Zhang Xiaofan was concentrating on his own guard, and suddenly saw that in the big man's normal eyes, his right eye suddenly doubled in size and turned red. The whole giant eye appeared on his face, which was terrifying and funny.

He was feeling strange in his heart, and suddenly a red light shot out of the big man's red giant eyes, and it shot out. Everyone in Qingyunmen saw that he looked strange, and they had already paid attention, Qi Hao immediately sacrificed the Ice Fairy Sword, "clicked" twice, and formed two ice walls in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the red light seemed to contain a fierce force, and after a while, it hit the ice wall, and instantly melted a small hole in the ice wall and passed through, silently but rushing over like a bamboo.

Qi Hao was taken aback, he didn't have time to react again, and immediately blocked the Cold Ice Immortal Sword in front of everyone, and the red light hit the Cold Ice Immortal Sword, flashed twice, and disappeared in the white light of the Cold Ice Immortal Sword. But Qi Hao's body trembled, and he saw that on his Ice Immortal Sword, a small piece of the originally pure white sword body was actually dyed with a faint dark red color at this moment.

The body of the cold ice sword trembled slightly, as if it had been violated by an evil object, Qi Hao looked at it and felt extremely painful, in fact, the person who cultivated the truth, which one did not take his magic weapon very seriously. But at this moment, he couldn't think about it much, the red light just disappeared, and another red light was launched from the big man's red giant eyes in the distance, rushing forward, and when it collided with the two ice walls, it also broke two holes silently and the momentum did not decrease at all, hitting the four people.

Qi Hao's brows furrowed, the cold ice sword flickered white light, and the volley met it, and in a blink of an eye, the red light disappeared into invisibility, but there was another red mark on the body of the cold ice sword.

In the distance, the big man didn't say a word, his red giant eyes were like arrows, and he kept shooting red rays, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Hao blocked them one by one, but seeing that the dark red color was getting more and more, the white light of the Ice Fairy Sword gradually dimmed.

The three people next to him all saw that it was not good, Zeng Shushu was the first to rush out, and he raised his magic weapon fairy sword "Xuanyuan", and was about to rush up from the side, but the big man only turned his head slightly, and a red light shot out of his red giant eyes towards him, Zeng Shushu couldn't dodge, so he had to volley the Xuanyuan fairy sword into the air to block this strange red light.

In mid-air, the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword glowed with a light purple glow, and immediately eliminated the red glow, but on the sword body, a red mark also appeared like a bone cone, and the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword immediately let out a low tremble.

Zeng Shushu only felt that a sudden evil qi came from the sword's body, as if it wanted to invade the body, but fortunately, it was far away, and the power was not strong, and the Xuanyuan Immortal Sword itself immediately rose up to offset this evil qi.

It's just that he couldn't go any further, looking at the big man in the distance just standing in place leisurely, shaking his head slightly, the red giant eyes kept emitting red rays, and he nailed Qi Hao and Zeng Shushu in place, not allowing an inch. And as the red marks gradually increased, the two of them felt that the evil aura coming from the fairy sword was getting heavier and heavier, and with the fairy sword sword as a medium, it slowly invaded the two of them.

Zhang Xiaofan saw that the two of them were in trouble, and immediately rushed forward. The big man saw it in his eyes, and his head turned slightly. Another red ray shot out and rushed towards Zhang Xiaofan. It was also at this time that the Soul Eater Stick in Zhang Xiaofan's hand suddenly received the true force traction in his body, releasing a burst of dazzling light!

Above the originally dark and deep abyss of the dead soul, the time was extremely bright!

—————————————————————————————————————

At this moment, the incense valley beyond the 100,000 mountains is a different scene...

This incense valley occupies a huge area, but there is a hidden path in it, which looks like a zigzag, and leads to the depths of the valley.

Beside the road ahead, a white square object stood quietly, and I looked at it intently. But it is a stone tablet with two lines of eight characters engraved on it:

Flames

The disciple stopped

…

As for the word Xuanhuo, it naturally refers to the Xuanhuo Jian that is regarded as a secret treasure by the Incense Valley. It's just that I'm afraid not many people know that this strange thing that symbolizes the power of destroying the world is not in the Incense Valley at the moment...

This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. But he said that although the stone tablet looked ordinary, it seemed to be a dividing place. After passing the stele, somehow. Although the trail still stretches forward in the same zigzag, the trees and flowers on both sides of the road are much scarcer.

First the grass on the ground gradually disappeared, then the low shrubs, and finally even the trees on both sides gradually thinned out. Not to mention that the ground began to crack, even the branches of the remaining trees turned yellow. It seems that there is a great shortage of water in this area, and the land is scorched.

Come to think of it, most of this is also related to the word "Xuanhuo".

Follow the trail and turn the last corner. Suddenly, a large clearing appeared in front of me. A wave of heat blowing from nowhere. In the center of the clearing was a huge circular altar, the bottom of which was suspended in the air, and thirteen huge stone pillars made of white jade were three zhang high to support the entire altar. Among them, there are twelve white jade pillars on the edge of the altar, each of which is as thick as two people hugging, and the thickest white jade pillar in the middle of the altar looks like at least five or six people can hug it together.

Above the altar, all the buildings were made of a strange crimson stone, steps, railings, and so on. In the center of the altar, there is a tall and majestic hall, in the shape of a pagoda, with three floors, each of which is about half smaller than the next, but each floor is almost incredibly high.

From a distance, this altar was simply a huge burning red flame that pierced the sky. Ordinary people stood under this altar, almost like ants, extremely small.

Not to mention the plan and character of this incense valley, but just looking at this altar, the four words of ghostly craftsmanship are well deserved. However, this is also reasonable, after all, for thousands of years, this is the inviolable holy place of the incense valley - the Xuanhuo Altar.

A group of Incense Valley disciples walked slowly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the bottom of the Xuanhuo Altar.

As soon as he approached the vicinity of this Xuanhuo Altar, the heat in the air suddenly increased several times, and even if he practiced superbly, he could feel a burst of upset, and there was a faint sweat on his forehead. But these people all looked in reverence, and did not dare to complain in the slightest.

The footsteps were louder again, and it was obvious that someone had already approached, and suddenly an old voice said slowly: "Since the valley lord has invited me, I naturally want to go." It's just that you told me that the valley is full of gray dolphins, why didn't there be any movement last night? ”

The old man who spoke had a clear and thin face, a gray robe on his body, simple and simple, and his demeanor was calm, and there was nothing outstanding about it. If you walk on the streets of an ordinary town, you are afraid that no one will be able to recognize this person as a monk. But if an otherworldly master like Liuying could see that the terrifying internal qi hidden in the other party's body here, it was obvious that this was also a master who was by no means inferior to any of the first seats of the Qingyun Sect!

Hearing the old man ask at this moment, the disciple who followed him also hesitated, and then said: "Senior Uncle Mingjian, we really didn't notice any signs of foreign invasion yesterday, but early this morning, the valley master strictly ordered me to come and invite my uncle, saying yes..."

At this time, the three of them happened to walk down the Xuanhuo Altar, and the old man saw that the young disciple was swallowing, and his breath immediately sank: "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." Why hesitate? ”

The disciple was also helpless, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head. It's really not that he has something to hide, but he can't understand a word of the valley master's words, since the old man asked at this moment. He had no choice but to reply honestly: "Returning to Uncle Yu, the valley master only said, 'There are visitors in the mountains, and the shadow is goodbye to the traces of eternity'." ”

The gray-clothed old man's pupils, who had always been calm and natural, shrank suddenly, obviously understanding the meaning of these two words, and grabbed the young disciple's arm and asked in great surprise: "Gu Master... Gu Lord, did he really say that? ”

Suddenly, seeing Uncle Shi so out of shape, the disciple was obviously also shocked, and hurriedly said, "Yes!" Be! The valley master did say so, and the disciples did not dare to make any mistakes or omissions. At this, he seemed to hesitate. Then he continued: "Originally, this matter should have been reported to Uncle Shi a long time ago, but the Gu Master remembered that Uncle Shi had guarded the Xuanhuo Altar for nearly a hundred years, and he had long since stopped asking about mundane matters, so he didn't want to disturb Uncle Shi. ”

The gray-clothed old man smiled slightly and said, "The valley lord has a good intention, how can I not know." But this matter is very important, and the old man has to be cautious..."

The old man paused, and then turned his gaze to the Xuanhuo Altar behind him. There was a complex glint in his eyes—as if he was expecting it. It seems to be worried. It's just that in the end, the old man in gray still clenched his fists and eliminated all superfluous thoughts... Over the past thousand years, the long-cherished wish of the Incense Valley to be passed down from generation to generation will finally come true, and no matter what they say, they must not let go at this moment!

"Let's go!"

He replied. Then take the first step.

And just when the high-level leaders of the Incense Valley were anxious about yesterday's sneaking in, the hero of the story had already stayed away from the surroundings of the Incense Valley. Instead, take a break from a small town not far away and enjoy your leisure...

Compared with the Central Plains, this place is actually closer to southern Xinjiang, and even the folk customs are more strong, so there is no way to find a tea house to rest as Liuying wishes, but occasionally find a wine shop like this and sit down on a long table, which has a different flavor.

Last night's temptation did not yield any tangible results, but it was also a helpless thing. It can only be blamed for being too anxious, and he didn't first find out the terrain information in the Incense Valley, so he hastily invaded the interior, and the final failure was not difficult to predict.

Moreover, in retrospect, even the whole process of his invasion of the interior seemed to be strange and suspicious, as if he had been stared at by a pair of invisible eyes as soon as he entered the Incense Valley, unable to get out, let alone distinguishable

This feeling is naturally extremely bad, because it also means that every move of the Flowing Shadow is known by the other party in advance, and it is naturally impossible to play any role if it is subject to people's counterattacks.

It was precisely because of this that Liuying decided to withdraw, and until the next day, he did not make any further attempts. First, it's because he hasn't made it clear where the black hand who secretly manipulated Yiqiē came from, and secondly, after he calmed down, he plans to start from the other side, first collect information about the current situation of Incense Valley in this place, and then decide how to start...

By now, Liuying no longer believes in the memories of the Incense Valley in his mind—his own existence has changed the current situation in a great way, and even the original predecessor of the Incense Valley, Long Weitai, has suffered a devastating blow due to the changes thousands of years ago, so so far, the information about the Incense Valley can only be used as a reference, and cannot be directly accurate.

Of course, according to Liuying's original plan, the most time-saving way is to capture one or two disciples of the Incense Valley, and find out the news and terrain in the valley. But if you do this, not only will you have to start cleanly, but the information you learn is also very likely to be biased...

After all, ordinary disciples must not know the many secrets in the valley, but if the status of the person captured by the flowing shadow is too high, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of the Burning Incense Valley, so it can only be said to be a dilemma.

However, it now seems that this problem has been solved.

This is also the reason why Liuying is so indifferent and leisurely to rest in this wine shop - even though it has also gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, but in the final analysis, he has been a thousand years old, just a jade sculpture that cannot be heard, said or seen, if you really want to talk about what you have seen and heard, how can it be compared to a real tourist hermit who has walked in this world for thousands of years?

Following his gaze, beside another long table not far away, an old man with crane hair and a childish face, dressed in a goose yellow robe, held a pair of cane hexagrams, with a graceful bearing, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones. And on his side. There is a little girl sitting with pink carved jade ornaments, eating the sugar gourd in her hand with relish, quite cute...

This is an old acquaintance of his. It's just that although his skills are different from ordinary people, he has a temperament that plays the world. It's kind of weird...

…

No, as soon as he turned around, the old man actually stretched out his hand to stop a merchant sitting beside him, and said: "Ah, this little brother, you are covered with dark clouds, your Yin Hall is black, and your face is dead, something is not good!" ”

The merchant walked outside like this. These impermanence things are taboo in the first place. After all, it is away from home, and the slightest accident may endanger your life, and it is best to end up with a ruined fortune to avoid disasters, but in this way, this trip to do business will be meaningless, and it will be extremely bad. So the old man in this robe has just spoken. The young merchant's face suddenly became gloomy. At that moment, he turned his head and wanted to see who the person who spoke was.

I saw an old man standing beside him. The beard and hair are all white, the face is mediocre, and it looks a bit like a crane bone fairy wind, and the appearance of a master of the Tao makes people have a little respect at first glance, and they were originally ready to say foul language. Naturally, I had to swallow it back into my stomach.

The merchant was stunned by the old man's demeanor for a while, and he couldn't scold, and was thinking about what to say, but he saw the old man look at him, not only did he not look sorry. On the contrary, his face was even more urgent, and he said, "Look, you see, your face is now like the color of earth, isn't this a great omen?" ”

The merchant was also taken aback when he saw what he said, and said, "What? ”

Seeing that the other party was really nervous, the old man put up the shelf again, shaking his head for a while

"Don't say, don't say, this matter is a heavenly opportunity, it's just that little brother, you come from the north, do you always feel dizzy and vomiting these days, and your limbs are weak?"

The merchant was shocked when he heard it, the old man said a word, and he didn't miss anything, and suddenly felt that his words made a lot of sense, it seemed that he was indeed wrong before, and then he thought of the old man's words just now, it was really alarmist, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said: "That old man, you just said that I ......."

The old man frowned, looked the merchant up and down, and looked up and down in his heart, and then said, "Well, the big murderer, the big murderer... It seems that you really have a big disaster, why don't you step aside and wait for me to look at you, how about it? ”

"Looks?" The seller was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the old man was still holding a bamboo pole with a white cloth hanging on it, and four words were written: Immortals guide the way.

It turned out to be a fortune teller, but having said that, the merchant did not despise it in his heart, for no other reason, the Qingyun ancestor who founded Qingyunmen was also a master of the rivers and lakes, of course, no one in Qingyunmen will do this now, but Qingyun has always been very friendly to the phase master, and even ordinary people dare not casually say that these phase masters will only have some crooked heresies.

The merchant only hesitated, but found that at the moment when he was talking to the old man, the other party had never talked about money, and immediately made up his mind, thinking that it was okay to let the old man take a look at it first, anyway, he would have to come here for a while to do business, and now it seems that there is still time.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to the old man, "Okay, please ask the old man to help me see the picture." ”

The old man smiled, pointed to a big tree by the side of the road, and said, "Then let's go there and talk." With that, he turned and walked away.

The merchant was about to follow, when he heard a crisp voice beside him, "Big brother." ”

He was stunned, but saw that it was the little girl who was standing next to the old man eating rock sugar gourd just now, and called him for some reason at this moment. Zhang Xiaofan looked at her ruddy face, which was extremely cute, leaned down with a smile, and said, "What's the matter, little sister?" ”

The little girl chewed at the corners of her mouth, spit out a few cores, looked at the seller, and said with a smile on her face, "You just called for soju and haven't finished drinking, if people leave like this, I'm afraid they will be taken away by the store." ”

"Ahh The merchant slapped the back of his head, immediately picked up the cup, drank the contents in one gulp, and then followed the old man.

The little girl looked at him as a wolf, smiled, turned around, and jumped up and down to the old man standing under the tree.

At this moment, Liuying finally stood up, still holding a self-poured wine glass in his hand, and also staggered in the direction of the old man. (To be continued......)
