Chapter Seventy-Two: To the Devil
After resting for three days, Jiu Ban and Wei Xi set out on the road with eight feathers and hurried to the land of the Fox.
At this time, Bayu had already recovered from her slumber, she was worthy of being a person similar to the Nine Half-Life Personality, and the speed of her body's recovery was extremely fast, plus Tan Yiju had some auxiliary treatment on the side, so she recovered her body very quickly and had to go on the road.
But in fact, Tan Yiju's purpose in helping Bayu recover as soon as possible was not to want her to accompany Jiu Ban on the road, on the contrary, he asked Bayu for one thing: Tan Yiju made it clear to Bayu that he wanted to refine a pot of peerless medicine, and asked Bayu to borrow his broken tail leaf secret realm for use. In fact, the Tail Leaf Secret Realm of Eight Feathers had almost recovered at this time, and she herself had no dislike for Tan Yiju, so she borrowed it. As for whether Tan Yiju wanted to refine medicine, and what kind of medicine was sold in Tan Yiju's gourd, she didn't care much at all.
Jiu Ban and the others rushed to the country of the Fierce Beast on the road, but they were actually guided by Tan Yiju. Tan Yiju said on the bell tower that day that he heard that the country of the fox has a spiritual weapon for the elderly, and the elderly are gods, and they can return to the farmer, and if they can find it, they can solve the dilemma of Pu Prison. After hearing about this, Jiuhan almost naturally took over the errand. Anyway, the trip of "borrowing the sky" has not yet ended, and he must go to the country of cunning. Besides, about the predicament of Pu Prison, Jiuhan has almost helped the end, the so-called "help people to the end, send Buddha to the west", Jiuhan is not bad. Hearing that Jiu Ban was willing to help him travel to the country of the Devil, the king of Pu Lao was almost grateful, and prepared a lot of money, goods and food for him before sending him on the road.
Before leaving, Yu Buzi, the national teacher of Pujiao, found Jiuban and handed him a sachet in person. The sachet seemed to be a little old, and there was almost no fragrance, but Yu Buzi solemnly handed the sachet to Jiuhan, and then said with some seriousness: "Jiuhan, if you take this sachet, it will be considered a token." In my early years, I had some friendship with Jin Zhuzi, the master of the country, and if you take this sachet to him, he will definitely help if you encounter difficulties. ”
Seeing that there was a token in hand, Jiuhan was naturally overjoyed. He said "thank you" while taking the sachet handed over by Yu Buzi, but he didn't notice a trace of different emotion in Yu Buzi's eyes.
Everyone had a place to go, and Yue Mangong set off through the country of the kiss to return to the country of the fierce. He said that he would ask for some soldiers and horses to come for the country of Pulao, so that even if the 10,000-mile sea barrier made by the eight feathers was broken, the country of Pulao could hold out for a while. For this, the monarch of Pulao is very grateful.
In this way, everyone was separated again, and each embarked on its own path.
In the Tail Leaf Secret Realm, the Dan Furnace was suspended in mid-air, and the Dan Fire was burning and did not stop.
Danhuo is strange, or ever-changing. Each alchemist has his own unique Danhuo, and at this time, under Tan Yi's pot of alchemy furnace, the Danhuo is constantly changing between red and green, but its frequency is not fast, like an old man in the twilight.
Suddenly, a young man's voice sounded, crisp and pleasant, and Tan Yiju was very familiar: "Old guy, you are still old." What's the matter, the seven-colored Danhuo can't play anymore?"
Tan Yiju didn't need to look back to know that this was Xiao Dui's voice, so he continued to control the strength of the Dan Huo while speaking, "You monster, how much younger than me? ”
Not far behind Tan Yiju, the figure of a young boy slowly walked out, it was Xiao Dui, who should have died. This time, no one in the Tail Leaf Secret Realm could know how Twilight walked in, but Tan Yiju was not worried at all that it was a fake Twilight. Because if this twilight is fake, then he won't be able to enter this secret realm of tail leaves. Xiao Du walked behind Tan Yiju, stared at his alchemy furnace for a while, and said, "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"Don't you have to listen to everything?" Tan Yiju smiled and said. His voice was inevitably a little vicissitudes of life, and he was a little tired. "Let's talk about it first, I'm tired enough to look for medicinal herbs these days, just let me take a break. ”
"The good news is that the nine-and-a-half trip to borrow the sky is still going well. If nothing else, he will be able to find people with similar personalities to him in a short period of time to complete the borrowing of heaven, and then your plan and mine will not be far from success. But the premise is that he can be ruthless and kill the little girl next to him. ”
"Oh yes, that's good. In this way, you and I are one step closer to the day of liberation. Tan Yiju's voice was a little happy, he paused and continued: "But to be honest, killing people is much harder than saving people, I'm just worried about ......"
"There's something more worrying about you," Tan Yiju didn't finish speaking, and Twilight picked up and said, "The bad news is that Z's strength is slowly recovering. Although he was hit hard last time, he finally recovered, and he began to take over this world gradually, I am afraid that the plan of borrowing the sky will also be known to him, and everything will be much more difficult to do at that time. Twilight's voice was cold, even cold. Although he and Tan Yiju are accomplices and belong to the same camp, when he said this, his voice was still indifferent.
"Are you sure?" this time, Tan Yiju turned his head. There was nothing happy in his eyes at all, but with great calm and calmness. "Are you sure Z is almost recovering?"
"It even said that Z has recovered more than we expected, and we need to stop it. You must know that the world we are in is the ancient period of the 'Extreme Dao' world, if Z completely takes over the Extreme Dao world after full recovery, then he will become the only god in this world, not only this world will be close to destruction, but even the physical body of people in the real world will encounter great danger. We must organize in time, even if it is to terminate the nine-and-a-half 'borrowing of heaven' plan. ”
Every word of Xiao Dui's words poured into Tan Yiju's ears, but he just smiled faintly, turned his head back to the direction of the alchemy furnace to continue alchemy, and then said:
"Forget it, let's continue like this for now. ”
The Liangshan Mountain Range is located in the middle of the country of the fierce and the country of the kiss, and it is a natural danger.
Eighteen mountain ranges are linked together to form the majestic and handsome Liangshan Mountain Range. The mountain range separates the two countries from west to east, and the moist sea breeze blowing from the southern ocean is blocked to the south of the mountains. So the wind stopped here, and it also caused the southern slope of the Liangshan Mountain Range, the scene of "ten summers and nine rains".
Among the eighteen peaks of the Liangshan Mountain Range, each has its own name. "Witch Peak" got the earliest name, and the reason is also the most peculiar: the southern slope of the Liangshan Mountain Range is recognized by the master as a good climate, but this witch peak seems to not listen to God's call, suddenly heavy rain and thunder and lightning, and in an instant, the sky can be clear, unpredictable. Because of its irregular climate, the people who live nearby think that this is a mountain that has been cursed by the shrine maiden, so it is as treacherous as the devil. Originally, Wunu Peak didn't get such an evaluation, but in fact, this matter was spread ten times and hundreds of times, and in the end, even if it wasn't true, it was said to be true.
After all, three people become tigers.
So when Wei Xicheng stood halfway up the other peak of the Liangshan Mountain Range and looked at the Witch Peak from afar, the man smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't look like much. ”
And the witch peak is rewarded with pitch-black clouds and lightning and thunder.
At this moment, Jiu Ban, Wei Xicheng and the three of Bayu were standing halfway up the mountainside of one of the most famous peaks of the Liangshan Mountain Range, "Chaotian Peak". The reason why they chose to climb Chaotian Peak and then enter the territory of the Land of Fierce Beasts was not because Chaotian Peak was one of the peaks where various mysterious scenes could be seen in the legend, but simply because the road here was the best to follow.
Wei Xicheng sighed while looking at the Witch Peak with his waist crossed, as if he was an old man, while Jiu Ban on the side stared at the next journey with a worry. According to the original plan, they planned to climb halfway up the mountain in two hours, but the fact is that it took them three hours to stand halfway up the mountain. Looking up at the road he was going to take next, Jiu Ban Ke was really worried. If you can't reach the summit of Chaotian Peak in two hours, I'm afraid that it will be almost impossible to plan to go down the mountain before it gets dark. Is it because you want to take advantage of the darkness to hurry? This is an absolute taboo, and the night is a country where sin blooms, and even when Wei Xicheng walked the rivers and lakes in the past, he did not dare to rush in the night.
Behind him, Eight Feathers had just climbed halfway up the mountain, and Wei Xicheng was still staring at the Witch Peak as if he wanted to see something new. What none of them realized was that something was quietly happening.
In the unknown space, the voice of an ancient, indifferent machine resounded.
"Level 1 is ready. ”
"Electromagnetic wave emitters are ready. ”
"Level 2 is ready, waiting for instructions. ”
The machine's indifferent voice didn't wait for instructions, on the contrary, the only man in the room hesitated for a long time before slowly clicking the button in his hand.
Then everything started to look different.
"Nine-and-a-half, nine-and-a-half, look, it turns out that you can really see the fairy god here!" Eight Feathers' surprised voice came from behind Nine Half, and he slowly turned around, but saw an unimaginable but very familiar scene: under the mountain, there are tall buildings rising in the mist, and pedestrians under the tall buildings are in a hurry, as if ants are gathering in the sand dunes. Nine-and-a-half had never seen so many people living in such a small place, as if ten times the number of residents had been crammed into the capital of the negative country back then.
In the vision of the nine and a half times, there was a huge iron bird flying in mid-air, rising from the ground and disappearing into the clouds, as if the legendary phoenix bird shuttled between the two worlds, but the whole body was gray and lifeless.
Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of him seemed to be magnified, and familiar scenes were staged in front of him. Although it is from the perspective of a third person, it seems that he is a witness in the heart of Jiuhan. It was no longer a sense of familiarity, but a feeling that I had personally experienced, and it permeated my heart.
A terrifying, unknown feeling creeps through the cracks.
"Nine-and-a-half, look, there is another immortal in that position! He's riding the dragon!!" Nine-half was pulled back from the sluggishness by Bayu's voice, but he looked in the direction where Bayu's hand was pointing, but he only saw a skyscraper towering in that position, and the figures in the high-rise building were swaying, flickering and flickering, but it seemed to be distorted.
Jiu Ban thought that he couldn't see clearly, so he hurriedly wiped his eyes and was about to take a closer look, but Wei Xicheng's voice came from the side: "What are you looking at, isn't there nothing over there?" In Wei Xicheng's eyes, everything in front of him except for the thunder and lightning of the witch peak came on at the same time, the rest was just mist, everything was as usual, and there was no difference.
Wei Xicheng's voice came into the ears of Jiuhan and Bayu at the same time, and the two looked at each other as if they had been struck by lightning in an instant, and they both saw an incredible look in each other's eyes. And Wei Xiyan, who saw such an abnormal reaction of the two people beside him, was even more confused by the second monk.
Jiuhan didn't continue to look at it, but gently closed his eyes, and Yachi did the same. After a few breaths, when the two of them opened their eyes at the same time, the sight of both high-rise buildings and immortals taking off disappeared, and the scene in their eyes began to be consistent with Wei Xicheng.
Seeing the changes in front of him, Jiu Ban was silent for a while and said, "Chaotian Peak...... Sure enough, it lives up to its name. ”
"What's the matter with the nine and a half?" Seeing that the nine and a half were like this, Wei Xicheng spoke, and there was some anxiety in his tone. He has traveled from south to north and has seen a wide range of things, so he naturally knows all kinds of unusual scenes in this Liangshan mountain range. Seeing Jiuhan's reaction at this moment, Wei Xicheng thought that he was stimulated by something, and he was a little worried.
Jiu Ban didn't speak, but Ba Yu said to Wei Xicheng: "Brother Wei, don't worry, the two of us have just fallen into the wonder of this Chaotian Peak." The legend of 'Eighteen Peaks of Good Mountains, Peaks and Peaks Have Wonders' is indeed worthy of its name, but this strange scene may reflect what people think and think. As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night. ”
After Ba Yu finished speaking, Jiu Ban didn't answer anything. He looked at the sky and seemed to be a little early, so he turned around and said lightly: "Let's go, let's hurry, try to go down the mountain before the sun goes down." Then he took a step and continued his climb up the mountain.
Eight feathers chased after Jiuhan's body, leaving Wei Xicheng standing alone in place, a little stunned.
He didn't seem to have missed his wife and daughter for a long time.
In fact, there was one thing that Nine and a Half didn't say, and that was that he seemed to feel the call of the mysterious man again.
The mysterious person is Z, and his voice is also the voice of Tan Yiju who reminded Jiu and a half to pay attention early in the morning and not to be confused. Just now, he seemed to faintly feel Z's voice in his ears again, but before he could respond, the voice disappeared.
This kind of thing has appeared more than once, and it is also an existence that makes Jiu and a half extremely worried.
In fact, everyone has a slightly weird curiosity: the more you don't want to, the more you stop, the more you forbid a person to do something, the more curious he will be about it, and the more likely he will be to break the taboo and break the rules. In fact, the more Tan Yiju didn't let Jiuhan get in touch with the mysterious Z, the more Jiuhan wanted to understand.
An almost instinctive emotion and impulse told Jiuhan that once he came into contact with Z, then maybe everything would be solved.
It was getting dark, and the group of nine and a half people gradually walked down the mountain. It's easy to go up the mountain and hard to go down, but in fact, they go down a lot faster than they go up.
"Nine-and-a-half, how much have you completed your trip to borrow the sky?" As he walked all the way, Wei Xicheng asked about the topic as if he were chatting.
"I count...... Three money, seven lives, four ears, in fact, three eighths of the way is now complete. ”
"What are you going to do after that?"
"What do you mean?" Suddenly heard the eight feathers on the side ask this question, and the nine and a half moments were a little confused, not knowing what to say. Complete borrowing the sky, change your life against the sky, and then rebuild the country of the negative man, Jiuhan has always taken this as the important task of his life. And after that, where to go, what to do, he didn't know. Maybe he'll have some time to himself after that, but more likely he won't. You must know that rebuilding the country of the negative is a much more huge and complicated process than building a sea barrier, and the time and energy spent in this process is definitely more than anyone imagined. Maybe he will live to the point where the country of the minus will reappear on the continent, or perhaps, in the process, he will already die?
Everything, you can't tell.
In this way, they chatted all the way and walked all the way. The sun went down, but in front of them it seemed as if another sun was rising: a majestic and quaint ancient city gradually appeared in front of them. The sun went down, but the lights in the ancient city were not extinguished. From a distance, the ancient city is still very lively.
So, almost without any objection, the three of them went into the ancient city, intending to rest for the night before making another plan.
