Chapter 455: Ghost Sorrow
As Song Jiang said, seven hundred miles to the southeast, is a silent woodland, although there are trees on it, but the long is very sparse, very short, not as lush as the surrounding rainforest, not so lively, the sun is shining, the vision is clear, but because of the state of the forest disease, it still gives people a sense of visual faintness.
Song Jiang, who was walking in the front, stopped, turned his head, and without waiting for Xiao Cong to pray, he bowed down and said with a smile:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao wait a moment, I'll go in first and give you a demonstration to prove that what I said is true. ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
There was a sound of breaking wind behind him, Xiao Cong suddenly turned around, and saw that Wang Liangxun, the leader of the four scorpions, had jumped onto a hundred-year-old tree, grabbed a pine flower python and threw it at the ghost sorrow, so it was not enough, and he grabbed a few birds and beasts and threw them in.
Xiao Cong was puzzled and asked the people around him:
"What is he doing here?"
Xingliuyun and the others were the same as the second monk of Zhang, but they didn't expect that the leaders would also look at each other without saying a word, until Wang Liangxun jumped down from the tree and returned, and asked through Zhang Tianxiao in a loud voice,
"What were you doing?"
Wang Liangxun replied with a smile:
"I'm afraid that Fourth Young Master Xiao won't be able to see it really, so I threw in a few other objects to compare with Brother Song, so that Fourth Young Master Xiao can see it more clearly. ”
The leaders looked at each other and laughed, and praised one after another:
"It's really you, we didn't expect it!"
Xiao Cong just smiled, seeing that they all looked sincere, it really didn't look like they had been directed in advance.
The group of people turned their eyes to the ghost sorrow again, and saw that the few other things that were thrown into by Wang Liangxun were going around there, at a loss, but Song Jiang was walking in a line to the depths of the ghost sorrow.
Xiao Cong opened his purple eyes and observed carefully, at this time, he could see that those lost insects and beasts had a white hair-like filament, and the filaments were constantly tangled, as if they were slowly forming a cocoon.
Because of the shelter of the forest, Xiao Cong couldn't see what Song Jiang's situation was like for the time being, so he watched quietly like this, and saw that the filaments were wrapping the insects and beasts layer by layer, and it was really cocooning, he suddenly thought that there was a silkworm department in the seven departments of the ancient Zhou, and they thought that their totem was an ancient silkworm, and Song Jiang was the leader of the silkworm department, it seems that the formation of this forbidden land called Ghost Sorrow Tai is inseparable from the silkworm department, no wonder Song Jiang swore that he knew the magic method not to get lost here.
But whether this forbidden land can trap the masters of the Qi Qi Heaven Realm remains to be discussed.
Because Xiao Cong was standing at the forefront, no one could see the strangeness in his eyes, and he just watched motionlessly, planning in his heart how to know the true power of this forbidden land.
Not long after, Song Jiang returned from the depths of the ghost sorrow and reappeared in everyone's field of vision, Xiao Cong borrowed purple eyes to carefully probe, and found that this guy really didn't have a filament on his body!
Xiao Cong put away his purple eyes and watched Song Jiang walk back leisurely.
Song Jiang walked three feet away in front of Xiao Cong, and his state was not unusual, only to see him bow down and bow, and said:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao also saw it, this forbidden place, can't wait with me, Fourth Young Master Xiao can rest assured that I will accompany him. ”
Xiao Cong raised the corners of his mouth,
"Commander Song, this shouldn't be enough, how do I know which realm master this forbidden land can trap at the highest, Commander Song's cultivation is in the late stage of the river crossing realm, this is the limit of this forbidden land. ”
Song Jiang smiled,
"Then how does Fourth Young Master Xiao think it should be verified?"
Xiao Cong pouted,
"I don't know this, the most direct way is to lure a strong person from the Heavenly Realm in, but it's a little too dangerous, and I guess you don't have the guts. ”
The leaders looked at each other and smiled bitterly,
"This ...... It's really too extreme, I don't know if Fourth Young Master Xiao has other ways to verify this matter. ”
Xiao Cong was silent in thought.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Zhang Tianxiao said:
"Otherwise, Fourth Young Master Xiao, we will put our lives in your hands, you go in and take a look, feel it yourself, they all say that your Xiao family is naturally sharp, you go in and take a walk, you will definitely be able to give a good sentence." ”
Xiao Cong smiled indifferently,
"Putting your life in my hands, how are you going to put your life in my hands?"
Zhang Tianxiao waved his hand and said briskly:
"We will pay what you say, as long as you believe it, you can do anything!"
Xiao Cong thought for a while and pouted,
"That's not good, your life and my life are two different things, and this still doesn't guarantee my safety. ”
Sun Yunfu, the commander of the Three Spiders Department on the side, smiled playfully when he heard this, and said:
"Originally, there was an assassination there, I shouldn't have spoken casually, but since Fourth Young Master Xiao has already said this, I have to say a few words, our brothers are also the leaders of the seven departments, aside from the heart of obedience, and Fourth Young Master Xiao has no enmity in the past, and there is no grudge in the near future, why should he risk his life and die with Fourth Young Master Xiao? Besides, whose life is not life, although you are the pearl of Xuanzhen, but for us, after all, our own lives are more precious, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if we want to take your life, then what good is it for us? Kill you, Jiayin Niangniang will not let us go, why should we touch that bad luck!"
Song Jiang just smiled apologetically, but didn't say anything, it seems that although Sun Yunfu's attitude was a little rude, he still agreed with what he said.
Xiao Cong scoffed,
"Well, that's very reasonable, that's okay, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman, as long as you can make me believe that this forbidden place can trap the strong people of the Tongtian Realm, I will go with you to the Wild Camel Field. ”
Song Jiang bowed and said:
"According to what Xiao Sigongzi said. ”
Xiao Cong carefully selected a big killing array, and it took nearly two hours to spread it on the edge of the Ghost Sorrow, this is a simple killing array, and it has no other functions, so the destructive power is more perverted, not to mention these seven commanders in the late stage of crossing the river realm, even if they are replaced by immortal powerhouses in the Moon Realm, they will be killed.
Within the killing array, Xiao Cong laid down another trap formation, although it could not completely trap these seven powerhouses in the late stage of crossing the river realm, but it was definitely not a problem to delay their time, according to his plan, it was enough.
After the magic circle was laid down, there was no need for Xiao Cong to remind them, the six leaders walked in very consciously, but the position they stood in the wrong place at the beginning, and after Xiao Cong's guidance, they stood in the right position, and Xiao Cong handed Hongxiang a multicolored stone.
"Keep an eye on a few of them, as long as you see them move, just throw this multicolored stone at your feet!"
When he said this, he said it very loudly, as if it was just for the few soldiers in the formation to hear.
Then he turned around and was about to go into the ghost sorrow.
Before he could lift his legs, he heard a shout from behind him,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao and so on!"
Xiao Cong turned his head and said a little impatiently:
"What's wrong again?"
Song Jiang stretched out his hand, and there was a white thing in his hand,
"You still have this with you in case you need it. ”
Xiao Cong walked back into the magic circle, took the thing in Song Jiang's hand, looked at it, it was a silkworm cocoon, and frowned slightly:
"What is this?"
"This is the cocoon of my clan's totem full of silkworms, it is a thing of inheritance, you take it in, you will not be bewitched by the forbidden land, and you will be able to get out smoothly. Song Jiang said cautiously.
Xiao Cong was suspicious,
"What's wrong with your voice?"
Song Jiang smiled bitterly,
"We all know the methods of Fourth Young Master Xiao, I'm afraid that you won't accept it, otherwise, I will die here today. ”
Xiao Cong nodded,
"Just wear it on your body and it works?"
"It's best to hold it in your hand. ”
Xiao Cong took out a rope, wrapped one end around the cocoon twice, and tied the other end to his fingers.
Song Jiang was shocked when he saw it,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, you ......"
Xiao Cong didn't care about it, turned around and walked straight out, and didn't forget to remind Hongxiang when he walked to him,
"Don't forget, if there is a situation, throw stones, and if I plant them in it, let them bury me with them!"
Hongxiang nodded heavily,
"Got it, brother. ”
This conversation fell into the ears of the six commanders, directly scaring the faces of the listeners into the color of pig liver, Sun Yunfu smiled contemptuously, and said in a strange manner:
"Don't worry, our Fourth Young Master Xiao has been traveling south and north for so many years, if he didn't know where he would die, he would have regarded his life as more precious than anything else, and if he was not completely sure, he would not risk his life. ”
Xingliuyun sneered when he heard this,
"Our Xiao Cong is playing with excitement, and he has long regarded life and death as a trivial matter, you know a fart!"
Sun Yunfu was too lazy to see Xingliuyun, an unknown person who was trained by his sister to be only wronged, and he didn't even look at Xingliuyun, his eyes fell on Xiao Cong, who was getting farther and farther away, and watched the changes.
Xiao Cong held the cocoon in his hand, and finally stepped into the forbidden land, at this moment, not only himself, but even all the people outside held their breath, although Hongxiang, who had been staring closely at the six tribal leaders, did not look this way, but from the changes in their expressions, he could also know that his Xiao Cong brother had already walked into the forbidden land, so he stared at the six people in the killing array more vigilantly, like a fierce little wolf dog.
At the moment of stepping into the ghostly sorrow, Xiao Cong did feel a trace of spiritual abnormality, very light, indescribable and inexplicable, he just stood there with his back to everyone, tilting his head slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so that the people outside were confused, and he didn't dare to shout without knowing it, for fear of causing some unnecessary impact on Xiao Cong, so he could only let that heart hang like this.
At this time, Xiao Cong had a strong impulse in his heart, he really wanted to really feel the power of this so-called ghost sorrow, of course, this was also what he had planned from the beginning, otherwise he would not have tied the cocoon to his hand with a rope.
But because of the mental abnormality just now, he hesitated again, it turned out that the impact on the spirit here is indeed not small, and if he is not careful, it is really possible to leave himself here forever.
Xiao Cong is still making a choice, as a person who can retreat from the Wild Desire Nunnery, he has enough confidence to let go of his hand and let the silkworm cocoon fall freely, but think about it carefully, the last time he was able to wade through the lotus pond of the Wild Desire Nunnery, it seems that it was given by Xiao Cong, a Shura.
But at this moment, he still let go of his hand.
The cocoon fell from the palm of his hand, and the filaments poked out of the soil, compared to the speed of the filaments, the cocoon seemed to be stationary, and it was only the blink of an eye, and it had been wrapped around Xiao Cong's body several times.
At this moment, inside and outside the killing array, everything was suffocated.
And at this moment, Xiao Cong felt that he had fallen into a chaotic world, the world was all white, there was no direction, and the creatures living in it had no thoughts.
I feel like I'm gradually dying out, my soul is turning into the void, but I can't raise any strength, and I don't even have the idea of resisting, it seems that this is a very enjoyable process.
Seeing that Xiao Cong's body was already faintly shaking like those insects and beasts before, inside and outside the killing array, except for Hongxiang, all of them were pale.
Hongxiang noticed something strange, and didn't even look back, and was about to let go of the colorful stone at his feet, Sun Yunfu saw the determination in Hongxiang's eyes, and shouted,
"Wait, look!"
A hint of hesitation flashed in Hongxiang's eyes, but he didn't look back, because he knew that Xingliuyun would give him the right instructions.
In the midst of the ghostly sorrow, Xiao Cong's fingers tied to the rope flicked slightly, and the cocoon rushed back, touching Xiao Cong's palm, and then being held in his hand.
The filaments that had been wrapped around a full layer were all pulled away and burrowed into the soil, Xiao Cong's body stopped shaking, and opened his eyes leisurely, he felt it carefully for a while, and then turned his head, his face was no different compared to before.
Inside and outside the killing array, including Hongxiang, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but Hongxiang was a little later than the others, and finally dared to look back.
The six tribal leaders who had been silent all this time finally relaxed their bodies, and their bodies were already sweating all over their bodies.
Xiao Cong waved his hand to everyone, turned his head and continued to go deeper, and he came in, how much like Song Jiang did to go shopping. I love Chinese.com
After half a cup of tea, Xiao Cong returned from the ghost sorrow, smiled and took the colorful stone back from Hongxiang's hand, and shouted to the people in the killing array:
"Come out. ”
When the six tribal leaders heard this, they walked out of the killing array in turn.
Sun Yunfu smiled and said:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao is so courageous, as soon as he lost the cocoon, he almost put the lives of several of my brothers on the line. ”
Xiao Cong sneered,
"Is Commander Sun complaining about me?"
Sun Yunfu pretended to be pretentious, and said with a smile:
"Don't dare, don't dare. ”
Xiao Cong sneered a few more times, and said casually:
"It's not early, let's go back, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Song Jiang's face was full of joy,
"I don't know where Fourth Young Master Xiao will spend the night tonight, if you don't like it, you can go to my silkworm department to live for the night, although the hospitality is not thoughtful and it is up to Fourth Young Master Xiao to decide, but it is definitely much better than in this humid and stuffy place. ”
Xiao Cong waved his hand,
"No, I'm used to being here, and I'm afraid I'm going to be uncomfortable staying with you. ”
One reason for such a flawed hair is really enough to slap the face.
Song Jiang laughed a few times, and was about to say a few more greetings, but he heard Sun Yunfu beside him say indifferently:
"Fourth Young Master Xiao has a good place to go at night, so don't worry about it. ”
said, and bowed to Xiao Cong with that duplicitous attitude,
"Fourth Young Master Xiao, Sun will retire first, let's see you tomorrow?"
Xiao Cong replied with a courtesy, and said with a particularly bright smile:
"Commander Sun walks slowly, see you tomorrow. ”
Sun Yunfu turned around and took the lead to leave, and the remaining five tribal leaders said goodbye to Xiao Cong one after another, Xiao Cong returned the salute one by one, and when all the six tribal leaders left, Xiao Cong put away all the spiritual treasures in the magic circle - because they were not activated, everything could still be used, and then led everyone back to the previous open space.
It's dusk.
After working for so long, Xiao Cong was so tired that he couldn't do it, although his cultivation had reached the Star Picking Realm, he still had a feeling of hunger for no reason, and he had really lived for a long time.
In order to satisfy his appetite, and in order to wash the dust for the ghost girl who had just returned from the catastrophe, Xiao Cong took the lead this time and asked everyone to collect as many ingredients as possible in the rainforest.
Xiao Cong took such an initiative, everyone was happy, and Hongxiang saw the opportunity to propose,
"Brother finally got up once, and it's boring to eat bird meat all day long, why don't we change the taste today?"
Xiao Cong smiled:
"What, what the hell do you have in mind?"
Hongxiang couldn't wait to respond:
"It just so happened that a few of us caught a blazing beak today, and used his blood to deal with those poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and there was absolutely no toxin left, so can we change the taste today." ”
Xiao Cong just pursed his lips and chuckled.
Hongxiang further said:
"Brother, don't worry, I already know all the poisons around here, let's only catch those who have no worries, and we definitely don't have to worry about retaliation!"
Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing, and said happily:
"You take Xingliuyun with them, even if you go to catch them, you won't stay here for long anyway, and you don't have to be afraid of their retaliation, if you think it's delicious, you can catch it, it's too toxic and the blood of the beak can't be solved, it doesn't matter, I still have the pill, let's be willful tonight, but we have to pay attention to safety." ”
Hongxiang jumped up happily,
"Thank you, brother. ”
"Go ahead. ”
Hongxiang was so excited that he couldn't control himself, and screamed and left happily with Xingliuyun and Huo Hao and others.
Xiao Cong, Yin Nuo and the ghost girl stayed in place, Xiao Cong smiled and said:
"Does my sister want to show her hand?"
"Huh?" the girl frowned, "what to show your hand." ”
"According to my senses, on the top of the tree next to us, there is a spirit bird in the middle of the Winged Realm at this time, why don't you try to see if you can knock it down here with the sword?"
The phantom smiled playfully,
"No problem. ”
Then he was about to pinch the sword, but he heard Xiao Cong say quickly,
"Wait. ”
"How?"
"Suddenly I feel that this is a bit too boring, why don't we add some color, you can try it with Yin Nuo, how about it?"
The ghost girl couldn't cry or laugh when she heard the words,
"Xiao Cong, aren't you embarrassed for your sister? Yin Nuo is in the early stage of crossing the river realm, and I am only in the late stage of the heavenly realm, how can I compare with him!"
Yin Nuo just smirked, if Xiao Cong insisted on doing so, he could only do it.
Xiao Cong shook his head,
"This is not necessarily, although Yin Nuo's cultivation is high, he is a martial cultivator after all, although he can also control some soldiers, but he is not as good as his sister's expertise. ”
The ghost girl is also free and easy,
"Since you've said so, come on. ”
"What's the hurry, let's set the rules of the game first. ”
"It's so troublesome. "The ghost girl is resentful.
Xiao Cong grinned,
"It's not troublesome, it's just that you two don't just have to take it down, you have to bring it here, and you can't be robbed halfway, what's the matter?"
"Anything else?"
"It's gone. ”
"Good!"
The ghost girl picked up the sword trick, and the Shang Di sword immediately floated beside her.
Yin Nuo straightened his posture and held his right hand on the hilt of the Soul Sword.
The phantom turned her head,
"Senior Yin Nuo, you can't see that I only have the Heaven Realm, so you deliberately release the water!"
Yin Nuo's smile can barely be seen,
"Don't worry, I have always done my best to explain the things that Fourth Young Master Xiao has given me. ”
Xiao Cong said:
"Now, listen to me, three, two, one, let's go!"
"Huh"
"Brush!"
The silver and white flashes of brilliance, the Shuo Soul Knife and the Shang Tu Sword instantly disappeared in the branches and leaves on their heads, the difference is that the Shang Tu Sword stabbed straight up, so it appeared as a red light, and the Shuo Soul Knife flew away, turning into a round of silver discs.
Broken branches and leaves fell one after another, mixed with red blood, Xiao Cong just raised his hand to push up, and these things that should have fallen on the three of them floated to the side.
Xiao Cong raised his head, opened his purple eyes, and clearly saw that it was actually Yin Nuo's soul knife that stabbed into the chest of the spirit bird first, and when he was flying back with it, he was intercepted by Shang Dijian, and the demon knife chased Shang Dijian and stabbed indiscriminately, but he couldn't snatch back the spirit bird, until Shang Dijian returned to the ghost girl with the spirit bird, and was put away by Yin Nuo.
Yin Nuo bowed to the ghost,
The girl made a miraculous skill, and Yin Nuogan bowed down. ”
Xiao Cong was also very surprised,
"The speed shown by this Shang Tu Sword still has a fierce murderous aura, how can it be driven by you, a late-stage Heavenly Realm cultivator, and some swordsmanship, it is really good, Yin Nuo lost this time, he is not wronged. ”
The girl smiled slightly and said:
"Didn't you say that Yin Nuo is a martial arts cultivator, how could his demon sword be so casual to fight against me after he got out of his hands, his weapon control skills are not weak at all, okay!"
Xiao Cong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth,
"Yin Nuo has a unique skill, called Soul Chasing Slash, which can lock the opponent's breath and keep attacking, he is not fighting against you, but killing the spirit bird. ”
Yin Nuo smiled,
"I said, I will definitely go all out for what Fourth Young Master Xiao explained, of course, I have to do my best, I don't want to be able to compare to the fairy method of the ghost girl, I am ashamed and ashamed. ”
When the ghost girl heard this, of course she was very proud.
Xiao Cong took off the half-zhang long spirit bird from Shang Di's sword and handed it to Yin Nuo,
"Come, I'll leave it to you, remove the hair and shave it, disembowel it, clean it up, take it, and cut those melons and fruits again. ”
In this regard, Yin Nuo has long been accustomed to it, and he took it over three times and divided five by two, and dealt with it cleanly.
"What about me?" asked the girl.
Xiao Cong replied:
"You're the protagonist today, you don't have to do anything, just sit there and wait to eat. ”
The ghost girl smiled innocently, and naturally it was better to be respectful than to obey her fate.
After a while, Hongxiang and the others returned with a full load, and as usual, they performed their duties, Xiao Cong asked Yin Nuo to deal with those highly poisonous snakes and insects, and he crushed the six antidote pills into powder and sprinkled them on it, and then let Hongxiang put it on the bonfire to roast.
Xiao Cong is even more talented, and he made a large table of good dishes with all the color and fragrance for everyone, which provoked Hongxiang to endure the dripping wine this time, in his own words, in front of such a good table of dishes, it is really not cost-effective to get drunk after a few sips of yellow soup, he wants to empty the little stomach that holds the wine to serve the dishes, so as to live up to Xiao Cong's heart.
At the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and even the ghost girl drank a few more glasses, as for Xingliuyun Yin Nuo and Huo Hao Zainong, as always, they will be drunk at the banquet, and they talk crazy......
Another unforgettable night.
