Chapter Twenty-Three: The Sacred Mountain
【Wood Sacred Mountain】
The mountain is full of towering giant trees, with twisted branches, and I don't know how long it has been since anyone has been here, and the ground and trunks are covered with moss. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
A clear stream happened to pass by, carving its own path in the dense forest, slowly flowing down the mountain.
The team of black-robed people who had teleported from Seven Bird City to Divine Mountain was resting here at this moment. It had been another ten days since they had joined the temple master in the sacred mountain. They followed Hades all the way to find this place, and then Hades left them to wait here, and he himself led the [Big Man] to continue his way up the mountain.
The mountain was empty, and the black-robed people no longer needed to hide their identities, so they all took off their hoods. The appearance of the leader of the black-robed people was very striking, because a terrifying scar several inches long pierced directly through the right side of his face. But looking at his strong knotted physique, with a decapitating heavy sword behind his back, it was hard to imagine what kind of person could leave him with such a scar.
It had been raining in the mountains for several days, but today it finally cleared, and beams of sunlight shone in through the gaps in the leaves. Several black-robed people gathered together, although there was nothing around them except the dense woods, but they still did not relax their vigilance, always paying attention to every move around them, and the occasional birdsong or beast cry from the forest would make them nervous, because they knew that the wood clan and the Ming Hall could attack at any time, according to the hall master's plan, their group of people was responsible for blocking here to prevent any situation that might interfere with the actions of the hall master and the [big man].
They don't know how long this tense state will last, and they feel anxious and bored. Maybe it's because of today's rare good weather, they are muttering to each other, chatting about some of the boredom in their hearts.
A bald-headed black-robed man said with an unhappy face, "When the [big man] is usually there, Lao Tzu thinks that his personality is too ****** and eccentric, and he talks a lot, complaining about this and that all day long, and I wish he would disappear." It's okay now, he's really not here now, it's rare to be clean, but when he is needed the most, now without him, the vigilant thing has become a lot of trouble, which makes Lao Tzu nervous now, and he has to pee for a long time. Luckily, the boss and the two imps over there took turns checking on the enchantment, otherwise we wouldn't have had a nervous breakdown. A black-robed man looked at the leader of the black-robed man beside him, and then looked at the two people not far away and said.
I don't know if it was out of fear or some other reason, only the one-armed man and the [Sword Keeper] were not near them, and the rest of the black-robed people deliberately separated themselves from them for some distance.
"Don't open your mouth and shut up the little ghost, you really want to fight with them, I think it's probably you who is lying on the ground and calling grandpa, and it's not necessarily whether you can touch it or not. Another black-robed man quipped.
Even if the bald black-robed man was choked by his companion like this, he still recognized it, and passed by vaguely in his mouth: "Lao Tzu just said that the two of them are young, and he didn't say that they are not powerful." Having said that, this sacred mountain of the wood clan is really big, and we followed the hall master in the mountain for five days, but there was no end in sight except for trees and trees. With such a large dense forest, I don't know how many rare birds and beasts are hidden in it. Lao Tzu couldn't figure it out, where did these spirit beasts, including this entire mountain, come from, could it be that the ancestors of the Mu clan were caught one by one and kept in captivity in this sacred mountain. If we catch them all and sell them, we don't know how much money we can make? ”
Another black-robed man interrupted the bald man's fantasy: "How many lifetimes are left, you better think about whether you can live your life in peace." Speaking of the spiritual creatures in this sacred mountain, I don't know if you have noticed, just now when the hall master led us into the mountain, we did not walk in a straight line, and the route we traveled deliberately avoided some places in a crooked way. This means that there may be a taboo existence in the sacred mountain that even our hall master feels a headache with, and I estimate that there is more than one. Luckily, we only saw the boundless trees, and if we saw something else, we would have to suffer. However, the Mu clan has this foundation, and it can really be guaranteed for eternity, so it is no wonder that the hall wants to move the idea of the sacred mountain. As for you, let's put away your idea of catching spirit beasts and selling them for money, don't be careless and be taken away by something that comes out of nowhere, and turn around and be locked up in a zoo opened by other spirit beasts. There was a burst of laughter.
The leader of the black-robed people was next to them, and he also laughed and scolded: "Talk less, save more strength and laugh slowly when you go back alive, don't be fertilizer here." ”
The one-armed man leaned alone on a nearby giant tree and said quite casually: "I think the environment here is quite good, and it is not bad to die here." ”
It looked like the one-armed man was in his early twenties at most, but what he said was not at all what a man his age should have said. The group of black-robed people also put away their smiles when they heard this, they were all veterans of the battlefield, but the attitude of this one-armed man was completely different from them, he didn't care about his life at all, as if he had put life and death out of the way.
Sword Keeper sat cross-legged in the open space in front of the one-armed man with his eyes closed, his black thorn stuck alone on the ground. The complexion of these two people is much better than when they were in Seven Birds City, and it seems that they have returned to normal after a few days of recuperation. At this time, there was an inexplicable throbbing in [Shoujian]'s heart, and he looked at the one-armed man suspiciously, and the one-armed man looked at him with the same expression, as if he also felt that something was not right.
The leader noticed the change in the two, and suddenly his face changed, and he made a silent gesture to them, and said in a deep voice, "Someone." Then he pointed to a bush on the west side.
Everyone stood up, grabbed the weapons in their hands, and slowly surrounded them to the west. Only the Sword Keeper and the One-Armed Man remained in place.
Just as everyone was preoccupied, the [big man] suddenly appeared from the bushes and startled everyone.
The bald man couldn't help but scold, "Damn, won't you squeak in advance?"
The rest of the people finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was the [big man] who had returned, and hurriedly asked, "How is it, has the hall master already done it?"
The short body of the [big man] shrugged his shoulders, and he looked resigned to fate: "The old man has done everything he can, and now it depends on your own ability of the hall master of the Hades Temple." After saying that, [the big man] sniffed his nose, and he seemed to feel that there was something else, and showed a puzzled expression.
[Shoujian] also opened his eyes, the strange feeling in his heart did not subside because of the appearance of the [big man], but became more intense, he was not allowed to think about it, the one-armed man frowned, what they were worried about really happened: "There is another group of people coming down the mountain, the number is estimated to be hundreds, this time it shouldn't be wrong." ”
What should come will come after all, and everyone can't help but get nervous. They looked down the mountain, and with the naked eye, they could already see the heavily armored guards of the Ming Hall [Four Elephant Courtyard] flashing with golden light, forming a square formation and slowly touching the mountain without hurrying or slow. It is estimated that it will take less than half an hour to find them here.
The big man was still sniffing his nose, and suddenly, his expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, "No, there are others here." In an instant, the mouth of the [big man] let out a beast-like roar, and a sound wave visible to the naked eye spread out to the surroundings, and a vague figure covered with a silver robe appeared around him, and the [big man] punched at the figure, although his fist was small, the strength was unusually amazing, and the figure was directly blown out by the [big man] punch, breaking a towering giant tree next to him, and the silver-robed man directly lost his breath. [Shoujian] was startled in his heart, and suddenly swung the black thorn in his hand around his side, and a few points of red blood dripped out of thin air in the air, and a silver-robed man appeared in front of him. The silver-robed man used the short blade in his hand to block the fatal blow of the [Guardian Sword] just now, but his arm was still scratched by the black thorn of the [Guardian Sword]. The one-armed man also reacted immediately at the first time, turning all the surrounding ground into a piece of ice, and the three humanoid ice blocks were frozen at a distance of less than ten meters from him, and then they were crushed one by one by the one-armed man's palm.
Looking at the other side, several silver-robed people also appeared next to the rest of the black-robed people. The leader was alone and fighting with the three silver-robed men at the same time, and there were already two silver-robed corpses lying next to him.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people lurking around them.
The voice of the underworld resounded throughout the sacred mountain: "Hahahaha, the master of the [Lost Moon Court] who supports justice in the dignified Ming Palace, thinks very highly of himself on weekdays, and is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and now he is also using this kind of indiscriminate means like my Hades Palace, which is really sad." ”
The silver-robed man who took the lead was uniting the two silver-robed men to flank the black-robed leader Scar Man, he looked around, but he couldn't find the figure of the underworld, but because of his distraction, he was almost seized by the Scar Man to kill him. As a last resort, he let out a whistle and ordered everyone to retreat. In the blink of an eye, there were only a few silver-robed people who were injured and could not be evacuated, and there was no need for others to do anything, and these people killed themselves on the spot.
Ming laughed and couldn't stop laughing: "Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, and Mingdian seems to have such a little ability."
The people of [Lost Moon Court] had actually discovered the existence of the black-robed people a long time ago. They cautiously lurked through the barrier laid by the other party, and deliberately let the people of the [Four Elephant Court] trigger the barrier, preparing to take this opportunity to move and annihilate the other party in one fell swoop, but they were unexpectedly recognized by the [big man] who happened to appear. The strength of the other party is also beyond imagination, in the case of a sneak attack, the elite of the [Lost Moon Court] still did not take any advantage in their hands at all, but on the contrary, their own side suffered heavy losses, and less than half of them retreated.
"To deal with a scumbag like you who kills brothers, there is no need to talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality at all. To destroy you is the greatest justice. The silver-robed man who took the lead had already retreated into the dense forest, and only when he heard the voice did he know that she was the woman who received the order in the Yongyang Palace.
"Senior sister, only those who win are qualified to say justice. The strange voice of Yin Yang came from all directions again.
Another solemn and abnormal voice suddenly appeared in the hearts of the black-robed people: "As long as it takes another two hours, the Divine Mountain will be ours, and before Yongzheng comes, we will do our best to stop these miscellaneous pieces of the Ming Palace." If the situation changes, you will immediately take the empty ants with you. ”
The space around the black-robed people fluctuated, and the sky ants appeared in front of them with a flashing purple and black light.
At this moment, a golden pillar of light sprinkled straight from the air, like a cage, firmly sealed the empty ants in the pillar of light, unable to move.
Everyone looked up, and the hall master of the Ming Palace, Yongzheng, radiated a sun-like light all over his body, just like a god, standing in the sky and looking down at them.
"Old immortal, sure enough, you're here too. The dark finally appeared, flying into the sky with the billowing black mist, smiling at Yongzheng on the other side.
