Chapter 59: A Glimmer of Heaven
Looking at the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, perhaps because of the continuous rain in the past few days, the temperature in the mountain is a little wet and cold, and the atmosphere between the two carriages is also a little more solemn.
Wangshan Ju had also stopped, Shen Yu opened his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at the high mountain in front of him.
Zhongzhou is mostly an endless plain, the more east, the more and more mountains, at this time near the east of the ancestral state of the mountains is even more majestic, the mountains are thick and precipitous.
In the middle of the place, there is a huge crack about thirty or forty zhang wide, and from a distance, it seems to have been split in half by a sword, thus forming a canyon that can pass through.
The maidservant Cai Wei stepped out of the carriage, and then frowned and looked into the distance, seeming to be a little hesitant.
"It's only been a short time since the beginning of spring, and the monster in the sky must still be sleeping."
A trace of worry flashed in Kou Wang's eyes, and he said, "That monster is extremely ferocious, if we can pass here as soon as possible, we shouldn't encounter any situation." ”
Compared with the other four states, Zhongzhou has the largest area and the most living beings, so there are some demons and ghosts rampant in many places, and countless strange and miscellaneous stories have been derived.
This line of heaven is a notoriously sneaky place.
It is rumored that there are countless ghosts and goblins living in this mountain, and there is a great demon that has been entrenched for many years in the depths.
No one in the mortal world knows the heel of this big demon, only that this demon is drowsy by nature, snoring like thunder when he sleeps, and he also likes gold and jade jewelry very much, but fortunately he doesn't like to eat people.
Generally, the merchants who pass by here, if they are lucky, they can pass through unharmed by handing over all the gold, silver and jewelry, but if they are unlucky, they may be thrown out of the canyon after being beaten, and there are no rumors that this demon kills people.
Therefore, Kou Wang chose to pass through this period of sky, and if he deliberately bypassed this mountain, the delay would be too long.
"It doesn't matter, the king in the mountains has a gentle temperament, but some little demons are a little difficult to talk to, but they are not harmful, they just love to play tricks on passers-by."
Jiang Jianhu said with a big grin: "I have walked this road a few times, if you are careful, nothing will happen, just rest assured." ”
Perhaps because his tone was very calm, even Kou Zhun relaxed a little.
Compared with cultivators, the martial artists in the world refining the body are the Yuan Yang Qi above the physical body, which the Dao Sect calls the Innate Monarch Fire.
Ordinary people may not feel the same, but ordinary spirits and ghosts are most afraid of this ethereal but actual thing.
Shen Yu's expression was indifferent, and after listening to everyone's conversation, he was ready to drive forward.
"Wait."
Thinking of her light and indifferent voice, the maidservant Cai Wei said, "Please ask Escort Jiang to go to the carriage in front to lead the way, and let Shen Yu come to the car behind." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Jinhu's eyes flashed a hint of strangeness, but the city government that had been cultivated by walking the rivers and lakes all year round did not let him reveal his inner emotions, and nodded with a smile.
Shen Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No need,"
"Who asked for your opinion?"
Cai Wei frowned and said, "You are an ordinary man, what can you do in front?" If I accidentally lose my life, I... Miss's money was not spent in vain. ”
Shen Yu's face was calm, but she didn't expect that this girl was still a knife-mouthed tofu heart, cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
The two exchanged places, and Jiang Jinhu took the lead in driving the carriage towards the first line of sky.
Then everyone walked slowly through the narrow passage, and the fog around them suddenly became much larger, and the two carriages were swallowed up in an instant.
As the white fog became thicker and thicker, everyone could only see the scenery within a radius of two or three feet, and there was the sound of the collision between the wheels of the car and the ground, as well as the sound of everyone's gradually thickened breathing.
There was silence.
"Something is wrong."
Rao is well-informed Kou Wang sensed the strangeness around him, and said with a solemn expression: "We seem to be targeted by something, and the demonic aura here is too strong. ”
Jiang Jianhu's face was pale, and even a few drops of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
Although the innate fire in the body of the martial artist is inherently able to restrain some sneaky, the premise is that the strength of the martial artist is stronger than the sneaky, if it falls into the river like a torch, the fire will naturally be extinguished by the stream in the end.
The maidservant Cai Wei came out from time to time to watch, and in the end, she was gently scolded by Kou Wang, so she hid in the carriage and never came out again.
Shen Yu's expression was as usual, but he raised his head slightly, quietly looking at a certain point in the distance, as if he had found something.
The ghost cry came.
A black gas, accompanied by countless wailing and moaning screams, slowly drifted from the sky in the distance.
Then, the black rock landed in front of the carriage, gradually twisting and rolling, and finally turning into a human form.
It was a woman with a bumpy figure, dressed in bright red clothes, her face was as pale as paper, but her lips were bright red as blood.
With her arrival, countless clusters of ghost fires appeared around the carriage, bringing gusts of gloomy wind and even weird and terrifying.
The red-clothed female ghost looked directly at everyone with her empty eyes, and said quietly, "Where are you going?" ”
Kou Zhun stepped forward and said respectfully: "The young lady in the old man's family was favored by the immortal master of the Xuantian Immortal Sect in Dongzu Prefecture, and now that she is of age, she is going to the Xuantian Immortal Sect to apprentice. ”
When Jiang Jinhu heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and his face showed surprise.
The Xuantian Immortal Sect is naturally far from the Nine Holy Lands, but it is also one of the top famous sects in Dongzu Prefecture, and it is also somewhat famous in the entire Spirit Desolate Continent.
I didn't expect that the little girl pretending to be a maid in front of me would have such a talent and be favored by the Xuantian Immortal Sect.
Kou Wang deliberately said these words in the hope of using some of the power of the Xuantian Immortal Sect to deter this ghost, but unfortunately the female ghost didn't care, it was as plain as ever from beginning to end, and the mocking smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more intense.
She let out a casual sigh.
Looking at the playful look on the female ghost's face, Kou Wang's old face like dead wood gradually cooled down.
"How can you let us go?"
The old man said, "But I want money..."
The red-clothed female ghost interrupted his words with a wave of her sleeve, and then a cold voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears.
"The two girls in the carriage have very good skins, and if they are peeled off, they are two excellent skins."
Kou Wang snorted coldly and said, "You are not afraid of breaking the rules of that king by doing this?" ”
"Rules?"
The female ghost looked up to the sky and laughed, and only after half a sound did she say, "That adult hasn't woken up yet, so what the little woman says now is the rule." ”
"Look for death."
A cold light shot out from the old man's sleeve, and instantly hit the female ghost.
The old man shot out angrily, and the flying knife-like magic weapon containing all his spiritual power was as fast as thunder.
The flying knife is made of an extremely precious Chiyang fine iron in Zhongzhou, which is just to the yang.
The next moment, the sound of a hard object cutting flesh and bones was heard, and the head of the female ghost in red was instantly separated from the body, and rolling blood gushed out from the broken neck, and then the pale head fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
Before Kou Wang could breathe a sigh of relief, countless cold ghost qi came from all directions.
It turned out that the ghostly fires that surrounded the carriage began to spin at high speed, and between the top and bottom staggered like a ghostly dragon roaring.
The head that had fallen to the ground also began to levitate at this time, and its dusty face was indescribably hideous.
The woman's eerie laughter rang out, "Yes, a few more knives, and when your spiritual power is exhausted, you will naturally go back with me, I am looking for a way to dig out your five internal organs, and then make a ghost servant." ”
Boom!
A punch smashed into the floating skull, and then it burst like a watermelon, and countless disgusting pus and blood stained Jiang Jianhu's body.
"Yes, some strength."
The female ghost's voice appeared on the headless body again, full of ridicule.
On the carriage, the servant girl Cai Wei, who secretly opened the curtain and saw this scene, was full of excitement, and just as she was about to subconsciously exclaim, she was covered by a pair of warm big hands.
Feeling a warm touch, Cai Wei's eyes suddenly widened, her face flushed, her body leaned back slightly, and she glared angrily at the young man who was light and thin with her.
It's just that Shen Yu completely ignored her gaze, glanced at the wetness in his hand, frowned slightly, seemed to have some disgust, and even wiped her trouser legs.
Cai Wei, who was stunned, had a blank mind at this time.
"Brother Jiang, you protect the young lady in the carriage."
Kou Wang turned his head and shouted, then galloped towards the female ghost, and in the blink of an eye, one person and one ghost were entangled together.
It was originally a critical moment, but Shen Yu suddenly jumped out of the carriage and walked slowly towards the depths of the mist on the left.
Seeing this, the maidservant Cai Wei hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Shen Yu waved his hand and said casually: "Hide, I'll come back when you're done." ”
...
Shen Yu walked in the mist, as if he were walking on the ground, and the direction he was moving was somewhere he had looked from afar.
Shen Yu felt the breath of the big demon in the depths of the mountain, which was somewhat familiar, and there was also a faint aura of spiritual treasure that was constantly emanating, so he wanted to take a look.
This time he went down the mountain, he was traveling the world, so he was very casual.
Soon, the distant sounds of fighting and ghost cries faded away until they were completely inaudible.
Then there was a dead silence all around.
A gentle woman appeared in front of the mist, and he walked towards Shen Yu with a smile, full of affection.
Shen Yu looked at her quietly.
"Childe, slave family...."
She gently slapped Rou Yi on the forehead, and then pulled it down suddenly, and Sen Ran said, "Is it good-looking?" ”
A bloody face suddenly appeared in front of Shen Yu's eyes!
If it were an ordinary person, he would have fainted with fright from this terrifying picture.
It's a pity that Shen Yu is not.
So, the only thing that answered the woman was the sound of footsteps fading away.
The woman froze in place, her flesh and blood face without facial features and no expression could be seen, but it must be a little complicated.
Shen Yu still walked forward.
Many spirits and ghosts in this mountain do not have the intention of harming people, but are naughty by nature and like to intimidate ordinary people.
Walked through fog, rockfalls, torrents, snakes and insects... Then after passing through many illusions from vaccination, Shen Yu finally stopped.
Although his eyes were still covered with a thick mist, Shen Yu knew that the place was not far away.
It seemed that after receiving orders from some people, the number of resentful spirits around him suddenly increased, and all of them rotted in front of Shen Yu's body.
Densely packed with strange creatures, it seems that all the spirits and ghosts in this majestic mountain have gathered here.
The originally cold air was even more frozen at this time, and some frost could be faintly seen.
In the face of so many terrifying ghosts, even the cultivators of the Divine Journey Realm could only flee in the wilderness, but Shen Yu seemed to turn a blind eye and took a step forward.
Then he said indifferently: "Get out." ”
