Chapter 38: The Puppet Cave (1)
The night breeze blew and rolled up Xie Qian's pink dress slightly. Her eyes burned, and she had already made up her mind.
Descending Xinghe seemed to be a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal, and stretched out his hand to her with a smile: "You come up." ”
She didn't hesitate, and her hands landed beside him with her hands on the window frame. The clouds trembled at her feet, and her knees ached and she almost fell.
When the Descending Star River tried to help her, she turned around and dodged it, putting her hands behind her back. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and the descending galaxy put away his hand with a normal expression, and pinched the trick to manipulate the clouds to fly forward.
Tonight, the starry sky shines, sprinkled on the clothes of the two, and it is like a galaxy falling. Xie Qian peeked at him, catching a glimpse of the skeleton on the crown of his hair, thinking that it was very similar to the skeleton on the hilt of the Demon Blood Long Blade.
Her eyes rolled, and she tentatively asked, "Maybe you know the Ghost Blood Blade, right?" ”
"You know, one of the magic weapons sealed by the Immortal Realm is second only to the Immortal Sword in strength among the twelve magic weapons." Descending Xinghe said, the expression on his face did not change much.
Xie Qian stretched out a finger and pointed at his hair crown and said, "The skeleton on the handle of the knife is somewhat similar to your hair crown." ”
Hearing this, Descending Xinghe shook his head with a helpless smile, and said slowly: "In this way, you still doubt me." In fact, all the skeletons in the world look the same, how can there be any similarity or dissimilarity? ”
"Then I'll ask you a few questions now, will you answer me?" Xie Qian got straight to the point. She usually doesn't like to beat around the bush and is troublesome.
Descending Xinghe glanced at her and said lightly: "Look at what you asked." ”
In other words, it may not be answered.
Xie Qian muttered in his heart, and still asked, "Why were you able to break through the enchantment of the Demon Venerable?" And why do you know me? ”
After a series of questions were asked, Descending Xinghe chuckled and said, "Is this the question you are talking about?" ”
"Of course." Xie Qian said.
Descending Xinghe seemed to be somewhat interested in her, raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't doubt my identity?" ”
"Doubtful, but you're certainly not going to tell me. If you are not destined to answer, I will not waste my tongue asking. "Xie Qian said seriously.
Descending Xinghe couldn't help laughing, and only sighed after a while: "No wonder the Demon Venerable likes you so much, and he broke into the underworld three times for you." It turns out that you are really interesting and I am also interested. ”
Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther away, Xie Qian interrupted: "Then can you answer my question?" ”
"Which one do you want me to answer?" The Descending Star River spread out his palms openly.
Xie Qian thought for a moment and said, "You can answer casually, it's best if you answer them all." ”
Descending Star River shrugged his shoulders: "The Demon Venerable's enchantment is not very difficult to open, as long as there is a certain amount of strength. It's normal to know you, the dignified Hanhai Cangming Xie Little Sect Master, how many people in the world don't know each other? ”
"Oh." There was no flaw in this answer, and Xie Qian didn't ask any more questions.
"It's just ......" Descending Xinghe stared into her eyes and said, "I'm more curious, since you doubt me, why did you come out with me?" ”
Xie Qian said calmly: "I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd." ”
"Interesting, interesting." Descending Xinghe laughed as he tapped his fan in the palm of his hand and muttered several times in his mouth.
She didn't know what was interesting, but she felt that this Descending Star River should not be the person who would harm her right now.
The clouds drifted over the mountains, across the rivers, and finally came to a halt in a secluded valley. After the two of them landed, the Descending Star River didn't say much and led her towards the depths of the valley.
The whole valley is secluded, and there are many evil spirits floating around. It's just that they seem to be very jealous of him, and secretly hide a few steps away to observe.
To be able to break through Mu Chengye's enchantment and make such a group of evil spirits afraid, the identity is definitely not simple.
Xie Qian guessed for a long time, and he didn't think who he was, and there was no clue at all!
Approaching a stone path, he stopped abruptly. The trees on both sides of the road are luxuriant, and the ground is covered with a lot of fallen dead leaves. The whole road is long and misty, and it is not easy to see.
Descending Xinghe slapped his fan a few times, and said with a smile: "If you go straight along this road, you will be able to meet the person you are looking for, but whether you can rescue it depends on your ability." This is not a place I can dabble in, so I will not accompany you, so I will leave. ”
Seeing that he was leaving, Xie Qian immediately shouted a little anxiously: "Wait! How can I go back when I come out! I don't know the way! ”
Descending Xinghe hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "When you are ready to come out, the Demon Venerable will definitely be waiting outside." After speaking, without waiting for Xie Qian to say anything more, he snapped his fingers and disappeared into a cloud of green smoke.
How does it feel like he knows everything?
Xie Qian was in a complicated mood, and turned his head to look at the mysterious stone path. She hesitated for a moment, took out the hairpin and held it in her hand before stepping over.
The lush trees obscured the full moon overhead, and more evil spirits gathered and whispered behind the trees.
Xie Qian thought to herself, obviously she is also the "head of the three evils", and in the end, these evil spirits are not afraid of herself. After thinking about it, I suddenly realized that my name had not been called out at this moment.
It seems that it is time to teach them some lessons.
At this moment, three evil spirits suddenly jumped out of the woods and stood in front of her, and the fierce gods seemed to want to devour her.
They hadn't eaten in days since the Ghost King had dissipated. Now that a big living person has come in, it's like a meal delivered to their door, and they don't want to let go of this good opportunity.
They thought Xie Qian would scream and run away in fright, but when they met her shining eyes, they fell into deep self-doubt.
She was trapped in the house by Mu Chengye all day, and she just wanted to move her muscles, but now when she saw the three evil spirits sent to the door, she naturally smiled from ear to ear.
The spirits wondered if they weren't scary enough, or if the man had something wrong with his brain.
Before he could figure out why, Xie Qian jumped behind them. Immediately afterward, the three evil spirits turned into green smoke and completely dissipated.
The evil spirits who were hiding behind the trees to watch the excitement couldn't close their mouths in shock when they saw this scene. There are a few timid ones who bury themselves directly in the ground.
The strength is too weak.
Xie Qian sighed twice and continued to walk forward.
It was probably Fang Cai's move to frighten the other evil spirits, and there were no more evil spirits jumping out of the way along the way.
When I walked to the end of the path, a cave appeared in front of me. The cave was surrounded by vines, obscuring most of the cave's entrance. The cave was filled with a foul atmosphere, and strange noises could be heard.
Xie Qian leaned closer to the cave and squinted his eyes to take a closer look. There was no light in the entire cave, only points of light could be seen flickering. She immediately lit a fire spirit talisman and leaned over, illuminating the scene, and then her face became ugly.
It turned out that there were many people wrapped in spider silk cocoons hanging upside down in the whole cave, their eyes closed and their faces pale!
Xie Qian clenched his fists, pushed open the vines at the entrance of the cave and walked over, approached the fire spirit talisman to them, and found that it was the missing disciples of the Immortal Gate!
She covered her mouth and was shocked for a long time, stretched out her hand to test their breath, and found that these disciples had been dead for a long time, and the Inner Yuan Jin Dan was not in her body.
In other words, these disciples were victimized by the same person who cultivated Sheng Xu into a puppet.
She had an ominous premonition and walked towards the cave. The whole cave is very large, and there are several small caves in the back. It's just that these disciples are hung on the outer layer, and there is nothing inside.
looked at these upside-down disciples, and found Zhao Yuanzhi in the end!
Xie Qian swallowed his saliva, his fingers trembling to test his snort. When he was sure he was still breathing weakly, he breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly used the hairpin to cut through the restraints on his body, but at this moment she felt that something seemed to be approaching behind her.
She turned around and threw out the fire spirit rune, which was stuck to a cloud of spider silk and instantly extinguished.
In the darkness, she saw two fiery red eyes staring at this side, nervously lighting a fire spirit talisman again.
With the light of the fire, she finally saw the owner of this eye clearly, and it turned out to be a black spider about three people tall!
It opened its mouth, and another ball of silk flew towards it!
Xie Qian turned over to dodge, his knees were a little painful and he didn't jump very high, and the corners of his clothes were partially glued. The threads in the spider's mouth were connected to the threads at the corners of her clothes, nearly knocking her down.
She used the spirit hairpin to cut the silk thread, and turned around to draw the silk thread on Zhao Yuanzhi's body.
When the spider attacked again, she drew several fire spirit runes in a row with her bitten fingers, summoning a wall of fire in front of her, temporarily blocking the attack.
Zhao Yuanzhi was not bound by spider silk, and the whole person fell from the stone wall. Xie Qian caught his body, but he didn't expect his weight to exceed his expectations, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden!
She got up depressedly, only to notice that there was a huge magic circle on the ground. She raised her eyes and glanced at it, recognizing that this was the magic circle that attracted the Inner Yuan Jindan!
Xie Qian immediately went to test the Inner Yuan Jin Dan in Zhao Yuanzhi's body, and only relieved when he was sure that it still existed.
And the number of spider silk flying over is increasing, and the wall of fire is a little unbearable.
Xie Qian understood that he had to fight quickly, and used the blood left on his fingers to draw a magic circle behind the wall of fire. The moment the spider silk broke through the wall of fire, the magic circle flew over!
The circle carried a strong wind, and the upside-down cocoons around it swayed slightly.
The spider spat out more silk threads to no avail, and was hit hard by the circle. It screamed, and fled with a puff of smoke.
Xie Qian pursed his lips and raised his fingers to stop the bleeding, but he felt that something seemed to be wrong with the magic circle under him.
She lowered her head and saw that the blood on her fingers had somehow fallen on the circle, and now it was flowing down the circle!
This place is not to stay for long!
Thinking like this, Xie Qian hurriedly summoned the wind to carry Zhao Yuanzhi's body and ran outside. But it was still a step too late, and the circle spun around, emitting a blinding light.
The whole cave was full of wind, and the people in the cocoons suddenly opened their red eyes and glared viciously.
Then I heard a crackling sound, all the spider silk broke, and they flew down one by one, surrounding Xie Qian!
