Cangqiong Mountain is worthy of being the sleeping place of the ancient demons, composed of three rolling peaks, the mountain is majestic and majestic, the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, hidden in the thick and mysterious gray clouds, and you can also see the red demonic energy in the clouds from time to time, adding to the mysterious atmosphere.

Among them, the red demonic aura of the middle peak is the strongest, and it must be the habitat of the nine-tailed fox demon.

An Lan looked at the rich red demonic aura on the top of the mountain, and felt very mysterious and beautiful, she had never seen such a beautiful and positive red, more beautiful than the natural color presented by the morning glow and sunset.

Demonic energy comes in different colors, and the purer the demonic power, the purer the color of demonic energy.

Through this red, An Lan truly realized the powerful power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon. She remembered one thing and was puzzled in her heart, so she asked: "By the way, you said before that the nine-tailed fox demon fell into a deep sleep due to emotional injury, what kind of emotional injury?" ”

But after a long time, no one answered, and when she turned her head, all three of them looked at the top of the mountain with solemn faces, and even a look of fear appeared on Huoyan's face. She suddenly understood that these three were demons, just like the law of the jungle in nature, and the little monsters were born with a fear of powerful monsters.

Seeing this, An Lan said, "Since you're afraid, why don't you go up?" ”

At this time, the rhino turned his head and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

She was indeed not afraid, but she did not say it. She raised her head again, and the red demonic aura on the mountain peak was even stronger than before, gradually covering the sky and the sun, and asked what was going on. Tianming explained that the demonic energy at night will be stronger than that during the day, and now that the sun has begun to set, the demonic energy will naturally breed.

Wouldn't it be more difficult for them to go up the mountain? An Lan said: "Since this is the case, then decide quickly, whether to go up or not." ”

In the end, none of the three were willing to retreat, and even in the lonely bravery, there was still anticipation, An Lan saw their youthful pride, and couldn't help but feel agitated, and even wanted to go up to see the original appearance of this red demonic qi up close.

Now that they had made up their minds, the four of them restrained their breath and went up the mountain as fast as they could. They were cautious, and on the way up the mountain, they did not alarm the elves and insects in the mountains, trying to make themselves invisible.

When they reached the top of the mountain, they found that even the air around them was filled with red demonic energy, which surrounded them, and even some of them seemed to be deliberately encircled and released.

An Lan felt strange and asked, "These demonic qi have spirituality. ”

Tianming said: "These demonic qi should be left by the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon, they have been lingering on the top of the mountain for a long time, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and there is also a clear spirit pool near here to purify the demonic qi, making these demonic qi more pure, so that they can cultivate independently, and they have been integrated with this Firmament Mountain, just like the spirits in this mountain." ”

Huo Yan added: "Legend has it that this kind of demonic energy only belongs to the ancient great demon, and I have never seen any demonic qi that can be cultivated. Huoyan's voice was unusually calm, very different from the way he usually felt.

Rhino looked at these strange and mysterious demonic aura, his nose stirred slightly, and then said, "This smell is quite good." ”

Huo Yan rolled his eyes: "At this time, you are still thinking about eating." ”

Rhino explained: "It's not food, I'm talking about the smell of this demonic energy, it smells good, can't you smell it?" ”

Tianming and Huoyan sniffed it carefully, and then they noticed that there was indeed a refreshing fragrance in the air, if there was nothing, it looked like flowers and grass, but they couldn't tell what it was.

Huo Yan said: "It's still your dog's nose spirit, you don't say that we haven't noticed." But what exactly is this smell, why does it smell so good, and how strange it is? ”

The rhino hates that others say that he is a dog, he is obviously a dignified rhino dog, the breed is very precious, where are those low-level breeds can be compared, if it was before, he would definitely have to jump up and fight with the flames, but since they started to go up the mountain, he felt hairy in his heart, and the fear and obedience to the ancient demon engraved in his bones made him dare not shout, and a voice in his heart told him that he must keep a low profile, otherwise he will die!

Therefore, don't look at what he is talking about on weekdays, in fact, his head is extremely shrewd and he has a strong sense of proportion. However, he was still not convinced, and lowered his voice and said to Huo Yan: "I'll settle accounts with you when I go back!" ”

Huo Yan snorted, but his gaze froze, and he looked at him in the line of sight, and he also let out a suspicious sound, Tianming naturally noticed it, and also turned his head to look, so the three of them all looked in the direction of An Lan.

I saw that most of those red demonic qi surrounded An Lan's side, and gathered into various shapes, including rabbits, orchids, little foxes, little tigers, and small dogs...... It seems to be playing with her, and it seems to be pleasing her.

Rhino looked at the red puppy and coughed unnaturally, alarming An Lan.

"You see, these demons don't seem to have any ill will towards us." An Lan held a little fox in his hand and said to the three.

The three looked at each other and felt that this scene was very strange. This nine-tailed fox demon's demonic aura is so kind? What happened to the unlucky youkai who was beaten back to its original form before?

Tianming said: "This smell should be the smell of this demonic spirit, let's go to Qingling Pool while the sky is not completely dark." ”

The few people continued to move forward, passing through the fog barriers, and suddenly there was a clear pond not far away, and a lilac mist floated on the water, and the fragrance they had smelled before was even more obvious.

Huo Yan looked at the red demonic qi that had always followed them, and said, "Could it be that this fragrance is actually emanating from the water of this Qingling Pool?" ”

The rhino stirred his nose and sniffed it and said, "No, the fragrance we smelled just now is the smell of the demon qi itself, but the origin of these two tastes is the same, and it should be related to the Qingling Pool." ”

Tianming said: "These demonic qi have been cultivating on the top of the firmament mountain all year round, and they should have the credit of this spring water, and they have absorbed the breath of the spring water for many years. ”

The rhino suddenly smiled and said, "Then the rhino master goes in and soaks it, can he also bring body fragrance?" ”

Huo Yan said with a disgusted face: "Are you disgusting or not, what kind of body fragrance does a big man bring, and the body odor is about the same." ”

"What do you know," Tianming said, "this fragrance is helpful for cultivation." ”

"Don't be poor," An Lan said as she squatted on the ground and played with the demonic spirits that had been following her, instructing them to change shapes, "Take advantage of the moment, go in, do nothing else, it's getting dark." ”

At this moment, the glow suddenly flourished, and the cascading white mist that penetrated the top of the mountain shone down, and several people around them were stained with golden light, and even the red demonic qi beside them was a little lighter.

Instead, Tianming said that it was a sign that it was getting dark. After dark, it is the time when the demonic energy of the breath is at its peak.

Hearing this, the rhino did not delay any longer, and went straight to the Qingling Pool. As soon as he got into the water, he hit a clever one.

"Why is this water so cold?" Rhino complained, "It's more biting than snow, are you sure this is the Qingling Pool?" ”

An Lan felt strange, and walked a few steps closer to take a look, but suddenly heard Tianming next to him shouting, "Come up!" ”

But the rhino was sluggish in the water and did not react, and as soon as Huo Yan saw that this was not good, a red whip appeared in the palm of his hand and reached forward, and the rhino was pulled out of the pool in an instant, and at the same time, several people heard a sound similar to ice cracking.

An Lan glanced up at the red sunset, and felt that the sound was too weird.

The rhino was dragged up by Huoyan's whip, and lay on the ground without any struggle, if he normally would have jumped up to settle accounts with Huoyan, but now he was motionless, his face was as pale as paper, his sideburns were covered with hoarfrost, and his hands and feet were stiff to maintain his claws, like a zombie.

The surface of the Goodbye Qingling Pool has been sealed in a thick layer of ice, and there is still the ethereal lilac mist and clear pool water from before.

Huo Yan kept his palm over the rhino's heart, and as a layer of golden light appeared between his palm and the rhino's chest, the rhino's complexion gradually returned to ruddy.

After a while, Huo Yan withdrew his palm and retreated, and after Tianming checked it, he said to Huo Yan: "Fortunately, you dragged the rhino in time, otherwise he would have confessed here today." ”

An Lan was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" "Before the rhino entered the water, she obviously heard the sound of the water, how could it be frozen in an instant, this is also too strange.

Tianming said: "It's our carelessness, after all, this Sky Mountain is the sleeping place of the ancient demons, every flower and grass on the mountain, and the earth, wood, spring and pond are all spiritual, and it will not be so easy for outsiders to get their hands on it." If the rhino comes up alone today, I am afraid that there will be no return. ”

"Like this demon?" An Lan's palm was surrounded by a circle of red ribbon-like demonic energy, winding and undulating, more beautiful than a rainbow.

Huo Yan glanced at her and said, "Could it be that this Qingling Pool has also become a refinement?" ”

"According to Tianming, it's not impossible." An Lan said as he approached the pool, but found that the original frozen pool surface had returned to its original appearance. She had never seen anything so strange before, and she couldn't help but sigh. With a movement in her heart, her hand slid across the water with great speed.

Tianming didn't have time to stop it, so he stepped forward and said, "You don't want to die?!" ”

An Lan ignored it, looked at her fingers and thought deeply, wondering, how she felt that the water was warm and quite comfortable, just like a hot spring.

An Lan said his feelings, Tianming and Huo Yan were skeptical, so they also swiped their fingers across the water like her, and they both felt that although the water temperature was not as warm and comfortable as An Lan said, it would not be cold, and even if they soaked in, it would not be like a rhino...... Miserable.

They don't know the reason, but they just say that this Qingling Pool is spiritual, and they may not like the special taste of the rhino.

As for what special taste?

Naturally he tasted of a special variety. I don't know how long the rhino hasn't bathed, which provokes this Qingling Pool to be so repulsed, and even freezes and wants to freeze him to death.

When Rhino woke up, he happened to see their movements, and said strangely: "What are you, how am I ......?"

He was incoherent and angry.

Tianming told him the reason for his guess, because of the frost of the pool water, he had not fully recovered, and he had no strength to argue about anything, so he only muttered how he even discriminated against the pool water.

However, despite his suffering, the smell of his body was also hidden. The purpose of the trip had been achieved, and the group decided to descend the mountain as quickly as possible before it got dark.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and the previous extremely strong glow suddenly disappeared, and the sky became dark at an extremely fast speed.

The four of them suddenly felt bad.

Soon, the sky became as dark as the bottom of the pot, and the black hand could not see the five fingers, and the white mist around it also dissipated at the same time.

However, in this very dim moment, the moon appeared suddenly, as if it were a change of guard, and I will come when you leave.

The moonlight instantly lights up the mountains. At this time, the red demonic qi that had originally surrounded them surged towards the direction behind the Qingling Pool, as if something was summoning them.

Before, due to the fog, they couldn't see the specific environment around the pond clearly, and they thought it would be a forest or something, but they didn't want to see a majestic black palace now.

To be precise, this Qingling Pool was actually inside this palace, and they walked in unknowingly.

And just now, those red demonic qi were sucked into the door of the palace directly opposite them, and even the entire palace was attached to a layer of black and red light, and the moonlight sprinkled on it, adding another layer of silver gray to the black and red light, adding a mysterious color to the sky mountain under the moonlight.
