Text Chapter 22 Xiao Rong
Chu You got up and went ashore after washing his body, and the experience just now made him feel a strange feeling.
Although he was not afraid of the female ghost, and he didn't have any annoyance, he didn't want to stay in the water.
When I closed my eyes and pondered, complex emotions came to my heart, which had nothing to do with good or evil, good or bad.
Within a few months, the smiling ghost turned into a devouring water ghost, which was really a thought of gods and Buddhas, and a thought of demons.
Chu You shook his head vigorously and didn't think about it anymore, this kind of thing was not uncommon for a demon cultivator like him, no one was a white lotus, especially in this hungry ghost Dao, only survival was the unchanging law.
got up and came to the shore, put on the wolf robe and clothes haphazardly, and walked down after choosing the direction casually.
"Since you still started the river, you can walk along the river and find the small single-plank bridge you built at the beginning. Chu You thought so and paced forward slowly.
He had been through some life and death lately, and he wanted to see where he had started in this forest.
Chu You slowly walked away, what he didn't know was that in a deep corner of the water just now, there was a figure squatting all the time.
The figure was tattered, fair-skinned, and his face was covered with long black hair that hung down over his shoulders. The undercurrent could not suppress the overflowing sadness.
It turned out that this was the female ghost who had just attacked Chu You by mistake.
The female ghost hugged her knees and cried for an unknown amount of time, and her long black hair fluttered along the water to create the feeling of autumn wind. Inadvertently looked up, and there were dark and deep eyes under her beautiful face. Fingers gently scribbled in the fine sand at the bottom of the river, and although they were constantly washed away by the current, the word "Xiaorong" was still faintly revealed.
Perhaps, that's what she used to be called.
...
After a long time, on the gurgling river, a plain-clothed female corpse suddenly floated gently. Face down, quietly drifting with the current to the distance downstream.
After the female corpse floated away, a small slender and transparent shadow appeared on the water, and stubbornly chased up the current in the direction where Chu You left.
It turned out that the female ghost "Xiaorong" abandoned her refined body and turned into a delicate soul again.
The corpse of the plain-clothed woman was washed away by the river, and no one knew how much effort she spent and how much suffering she went through to condense this body. The only reason for this is simply that he doesn't want to be a monster in his eyes.
In Xiao Rong's heart, she will never forget, it was a bright afternoon, when she was just reborn and was swallowed up by resentment and anger, she was greeted by a strange and warm smile across the river.
It was the first and only smile she'd ever seen in the Hungry Ghost Path.
...
Chu You walked along the shore for about three hours, and finally saw the small single-plank bridge from a distance.
It's been a few months since it came and went, and the little wooden bridge is still sitting there as it was at the beginning.
Walking forward, gently stroking the body of the wooden bridge, the hammering of the wind and rain over the past few months has dried up and worn out, and there are still many traces of animal claws in the corners. Although it has only been for a few months, it is like an old bridge that has stood in the world for several years.
Of course, this is also fortunate that no hungry beast has deliberately destroyed it during this time, and the claw marks on it are only a few curious scratches at most. You must know that there are many giant rhinos and bone elephants in this ghost forest. They were violent in life, and they are even more good at destruction after death.
This small bridge is incompatible with the hungry ghost Dow, and it is already a small miracle that it can be safely preserved in Chu You's heart.
Listening to the gurgling water and looking at the simple bridge, I couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in my heart. But before the thoughts in my heart could be raised, they were interrupted by a distant roar.
Looking up, I saw a cloud of turbid gray gas floating rapidly in the distant sky, and behind the gray gas was a huge fiery red light.
The gray gas looks soft, but the speed is not slow, it can be described as a thousand miles in an instant. The red light behind him was even more tyrannical and ferocious, roaring like a volcanic eruption, bringing up waves of air that smashed through the big trees along the way.
The gray gas in front of him may have been flying for a long time, and it was a little weak, and the distance between it and the tyrannical red light was getting closer and closer, and it collided together above this small river in a moment.
As the two light clusters, one gray and one red, collided together, a dazzling light instantly filled the heavens and the earth, followed by layers of qi waves that spread out around it.
When Chu You saw this, he turned around and was about to run, but it was too late. The tumbling qi wave swept directly out of the air, and in the chaos it was crushed by a broken ghost tree.
It's so chaotic on the ground, but it's surprisingly clear in the sky.
I saw a pair of corpse kings and ghost kings standing opposite each other in mid-air. The two figures were coordinated and abrupt, as if they appeared out of thin air, and as if they had lasted forever.
Chu You was pressed under the ghost tree and wiped his dirty face covered with dust with difficulty, while secretly cursing that this was a good body that had just been cleaned, while peeking at the situation in the air.
I saw that the corpse king above the sky was tall and burly, and he was dressed in dark red heavy armor, which was strange and ghostly. At the knee and elbow joints, the bone spurs are inverted. At each end of the shoulder, there is a ghostly head.
A long knife with a tiger's mouth is thick, often accompanied by left and right. A blood-colored helmet with scarlet eyes.
The ghost king was short and thin, wrapped in tattered cloth. Bursts of evil aura surrounded the surroundings, and no one could see the appearance of the face. A boneless evil wand, never leaving his side. Two soul-conjuring blood flags, wrapped around their waists.
From time to time, bursts of strange laughter came from him, far and near, as if there was nothing.
There is a saying that when you get up in the middle of the night without going through the door, you cry like a ghost.
Chu You knew from a distance that the two people in the sky were by no means ordinary ghoul kings, and the cultivation of these two guys was at the peak of the three heavenly tribulations, that is, the "Yuan Infant" realm, which was the same as when he was alive. But the strength is far greater than at the beginning, and the gap is even to the point of being frightening.
The corpse king in the sky wearing blood armor raised the tiger's mouth long knife and pointed it at a distance, and said in a deep voice: "Six hundred years later, you old ghost still dare to enter my territory and be presumptuous!"
Although the words were calm, there was a clear sense of anger.
"It's just a casual play, and I killed your corpse handsome, I didn't expect your old bones to really chase so far, and they all chased to my territory!"
The Ghost King said casually without care, his tone full of ridicule.
"The old ghost is looking for death!"
The Corpse King roared angrily when he heard this, and his blood-red eyes could no longer suppress the angry flames. With a wave of his hand, a knife slashed, and the blood-colored brilliance instantly swept the sky in front of him.
The sky was blood-red, and the sharp blade qi cut through the sound of metal grinding. However, the ghost king disappeared quietly, and when he looked at it again, he was already laughing in the distant sky.
"Is your temper still so short-tempered, hasn't it changed for so many years?"
The voice came from a distance, and it seemed a little ethereal.
The Corpse King looked at the Ghost King in the distance and did not chase after him, but suddenly slashed into the air on the right side with a volley.
