Volume 1 The Legend of the Immortal Thirty-Four The Old Man in the Cave
Hou Yi listened to Wu Heng's words, and said secretly: "No wonder I saw this immortal tree that day, it is different from the mother plant on the top of Kunlun Ruins, with a little disgusting atmosphere, I thought it was planted in the mortal world, contaminated with some cheesiness, but I didn't want to be fed by Ah Fan to live people as nourishment." I can't imagine that this Ah Fan can do such a thing, but in the past 600,000 years, the Heavenly Realm and the Queen Mother of the West have long known that the immortal tree of the Immortal Kingdom is evil, could it be that the Forbidden God Circle is so strong?"
Seeing that Hou Yi was silent, Wu Heng cautiously moved two steps and said: "The Holy Monarch forgives the sins, if it weren't for the fact that the head of the White Republic of China was invited by Ah Fan to be a guest, the villain would not dare to trouble the Holy Monarch." ”
Hou Yi said: "Are you afraid that Pinbai will join forces with Na Afan, and you can't fight him?"
Wu Heng replied: "If it is a white person, the villain is desperate, and he can fight a fight, but Ah Fan promised with immortal fruit, and in the future, there will be two pins, three pins, or even ten pins, and the villain can't fight on his own." ”
Hou Yi listened, did not answer, thought for a moment, and said: "I promised you that on the day when the immortal fruit is ripe, I will help you, and now you don't act rashly, three or five days later, it will be the time when the immortal fruit is ripe." At that time, it can be attacked. ”
Wu Heng replied: "Wu Heng has thanked the Holy Monarch, according to the Holy Monarch's opinion, can you seek the help of the Gentleman's Country?"
Hou Yi said: "By all means, the Junzi Kingdom is here to seek immortal fruits, and rash contact may lead to changes." ”
Wu Heng said yes again and again, and after a while, Hou Yi said again: "Yesterday I found an ancient altar in the giant forest on the edge of the immortal country, and the altar seems to have a secret. ”
Tu Shan Liuyun suddenly shouted: "It turns out that Ah Yueyin was killed by you?" As he was talking, he saw the nine-tailed fox Tu Shan Liuyun walk in front of Hou Yi and stretched out his hand to pull Hou Yi's face.
Hou Yi shook his head and dodged, "What are you doing here?"
Tu Shan Liuyun said: "I'll see if you are a member of the Faceless Country." The rabbit master of the White Republic said that Ah Yueyin died in the bone-dissolving technique of the Faceless Country, and yesterday you fought with that Ah Yueyin, are you not from the Faceless Country? Or did you learn the spell of the Faceless Country?"
Hou Yi shook his head, frowned, and said, "Ah Yueyin was not killed by me, and even almost killed by Ah Yueyin. Last night, I saw that I was going to die, and I didn't know who attacked me, and I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up, Ah Yueyin was already dead. ”
Wu Heng frowned and said, "As the Holy Monarch said, this matter is strange, the people of the Faceless Country have always acted viciously, why did they save the Holy Monarch?"
Tu Shan Liuyun said: "Didn't you take a fancy to your face? Oh, if that's the case, it's very bad." It is said that the technique of skinning and recuperating in this faceless country requires a special medicine to touch the human face with mana, and after 7749 days, the skin of the face will automatically fall off and not lose its activity. ”
The nine-tailed fox said, and suddenly slapped Hou Yi, then Hou Yi was stunned by this slap, and he stood still, and Wu Heng didn't dare to breathe.
"You are thick-skinned, my hands hurt when I hit you, it seems that the people of the faceless country don't take a fancy to your face. After Tu Shan Liuyun slapped him, he kept shaking his hand, and the delicate little hand was already red.
Hou Yi saw that Wu Heng was on the side, he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and Wu Heng lowered his head and held back a smile.
Hou Yi glared at Tu Shan Liuyun and said, "When I tell you about last night's incident, I don't want to tell you who killed Ah Yueyin, the point is not about this, but about the secrets in the ruins of the altar in the old forest of the Immortal Country. ”
Wu Heng said: "What does the Holy Monarch mean is that if we go to investigate the altar, we can find out Ah Fan's secret?"
Hou Yi said: "Nine times out of ten, I was just about to investigate yesterday, and Ah Yueyin appeared, which means that Ah Fan attaches great importance to the altar, and there must be a secret of the immortal country here." ”
Wu Heng said: "What does the Holy Monarch mean, I'll wait to go to that altar to investigate?"
Hou Yi said: "No, no, no, I'll go alone, and you will help me restrain Na Fan and his eleven sacrifices here." Wu Heng, you just need to create some chaos here, I think when the immortal fruit is ripe, they don't dare to leave too many people in the ruins of the altar, as long as you wait to leave Ah Fan behind, I can act conveniently. ”
The nine-tailed fox's eyes rolled, and he didn't say a word. Wu Heng nodded and said, "I will do as the Holy Monarch instructs, and the villain will go down by himself." ”
The discussion was decided, Hou Yi and Liuyun left the grass house, just walked a short distance, just happened to meet the immortal country sacrifice Amu Xiu, that Amu Xiu leaned over, raised his head and smiled lightly at Hou Yi and a few people, but his shriveled face was full of wrinkles This smile is more ugly than a ghost crying.
The nine-tailed fox was so laughed by this smile that goosebumps rose all over his body, and he crossed Amuxiu in two or three steps, and Hou Yi just nodded lightly, which was regarded as a return gift.
Amuxiu didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward with his head down.
••••••
Soon, the sun was setting again, and Hou Yi quietly walked out of the grass hut, and the whole hundreds of grass hut stone houses were empty and lonely, without a trace of light, and the patches of grass huts and stone houses were like rows of neat grave bags.
After a while, a few butterflies in the sky flew slowly, and those butterflies saw Hou Yi, and they swooped down one after another, smashed on the ground, and turned into several Cangjie ancient characters, Hou Yi looked, and the handrail was gently wiped in the air, and those Cangjie ancient characters disappeared.
Hou Yi looked at it for a while, but there was no one in sight, turned back to the house, took a bow and arrow, and a tooth spring, and ran towards the ruins of the ancient altar with a blank step. A moment later, Hou Yi came to the ancient tree of human heads next to the ruins of the altar.
The giant dryad's eyes were closed, and its tendrils hung like his beard.
Hou Yi quietly walked into the heavy roots, and a huge stone door was closed. Hou Yi looked left and right, and said to himself: "Presumably, this stone gate is the mouth of this tree demon, is there really something strange under this mouth." ”
Hou Yi turned around the stone gate several times, but he never found a way to open the stone gate, and he couldn't help but be extremely annoyed, and the tooth spring in his hand was a sword towards the root of the ancient tree.
Suddenly, a rapid breathing sound, the sound was very close, as if it was in his ears, Hou Yi secretly said badly, and stepped out quickly. It's just that he just left the roots wrapped in layers, but saw those roots dancing like crazy, Hou Yi jumped into the air in two steps, looked up, this tree demon actually woke up, two buckets of big eyes staring at Hou Yi, the roots on his face were floating up because of anger.
Hou Yi saw that the tree demon was already angry, and said secretly: "Oops, no, I didn't expect to wake up the guard dog." ”
The dryad looked at the person in front of him and was furious, and white smoke was emitting from his two thick nostrils. He shook his body, and more than ten thick tree trunks turned into thick hands, straight to Hou Yi.
Hou Yi held the tooth spring in his hand, waved forward, and broke one of the tree demon's arms, the tree demon was in pain, picked up the rest of the arms and smashed it, and for a while, the air was full of tree shadows.
Hou Yi jumped over, withdrew a few feet away, and said with a smile: "You rough demon, what can you do if you have empty arms, but you can't move, what can you do to me?"
The dryad was even more angry, picking up the huge arm formed by the trunk and smashing it all indiscriminately. Suddenly, several huge ravines appeared on the ground. Hou Yi looked at the shaking trees and soil around him, and secretly said that it was not good: "It's not good, if you let this tree demon come again, you will attract Ah Fan and them." ”
As soon as Hou Yi thought of this, he took a bow and an arrow, and the dryad was hit by an arrow in his eye, and the pain was unbearable, and the stone door suddenly opened. Hou Yi was overjoyed, took a blank step, and went straight to the stone gate.
Entering the stone gate, it is really a low cave, the two sides of the cave are installed I don't know what the eyes of the demon spirit, every five zhang one, the eye of the demon spirit emits light, but the cave is bright and open.
The inside of this cave is crooked, and the roof of the cave is not high from the ground, only three zhang away. Although the walls and roof of the cave are not very smooth, they are well repaired.
Not long after Hou Yi left, he encountered a fork in the road, and there was no difference between the two forks in the road.
"How is this good?" Hou Yi made a difficulty, he didn't know how to choose, and after thinking for a moment, he said to himself: "No matter, if you continue to consume it, it will not be good for the people of the immortal country to come." ”
Hou Yi thought about it, picked the left side fork and left, but he didn't walk for long, but he encountered a fork in the road again, and Hou Yi wanted to go to the left side fork. Suddenly, he stopped, as if he heard something faintly coming.
Hou Yi didn't dare to make a sound, held his breath, listened attentively, and after a long time, sure enough, there was a sound of broken steps, the sound was very small, like the sound of something dragging.
"What should I do? Do you want to go to this place of sound, or avoid it?" Hou Yi stopped and thought.
After another moment, the dull voice came again, and Hou Yi said: "This sound seems to be the sound of dragging the iron chain, could it be that the person who made the noise in front of him is the person who Ah Fan captured to feed the immortal country?"
"If that's the case, I'm going to go. Thinking of this, Hou Yi hurriedly attached his ear to the wall, and after a while, he determined the source of the sound and went.
After walking four or five more forks, we finally came to the cave where the sound came. Hou Yi saw the scene in front of him, but he was stunned, only to see a rickety old man receiving water at the edge of this stone cave, this old man's whole body was connected by iron cables, and the iron cables had already entered the flesh.
Such a method of tying people up, Hou Yi is the first time he has seen it. I saw that the old man wore a chain through the back of his neck, one on the left and right lute bones on the shoulders, one on the left and right hands and wrists, one on the back vertebrae, one on the waist, one on the back of the thighs, one on the front of the calf, one on the left and one on the ankles, and a total of eleven iron chains were connected all over the body, and the other ends of those chains were all linked to the ground, deep into the stones.
When the old man saw the living man, he was also stunned, and he was stunned where he was holding the water scoop.
After a long time, the old man spoke, "You are the Houyi Holy Monarch?"
Hou Yi was taken aback by the name of this ugly old man, and said, "Do you recognize this saint?"
Recently, I have a lot of work, I have to do work, I also have to eat, a few days off, about ten days, thank you for your understanding, long live your understanding!
