Chapter 33: Three Demons and Two Spirit Mountains
There was darkness in front of me, except for darkness, and darkness. This is how Xuan Yifan felt when he felt his eyes open - could this be the place of death?
Xuan Yifan felt that he was lying in a wet and strange place, as if he was lying on the water, he held it up with his hand, and with a "bang", he felt that he was standing up.
Xuan Yifan took two steps with his legs open, making a "whoosh" sound. Xuan Yifan wanted to shout, but he couldn't make a sound? He began to walk, making a thumping sound.
Xuan Yifan listened to his footsteps for a long time, and suddenly had a feeling in his heart that someone was behind him, although he knew that this was a psychological effect, not real. But his footsteps began to get faster, and the sound of his footsteps changed from "plopping plop" to "snapping." β
Xuan Yifan was no longer walking but running, and the footsteps followed closely. Xuan Yifan didn't know how long he had been running, but he felt his throat dry. He felt like he was gasping for breath, but he heard nothing but footsteps.
Xuan Yifan stopped suddenly, Huo Ran turned around, and there was a dead darkness.
After a long time, Xuan Yifan turned around, and there was darkness in front of him. Xuan Yifan bent down, his throat was dry, and he wanted to drink a handful of water with both hands, but he couldn't.
I can feel the coolness of the water flowing in the gap in my hand, but I can't hold it up, it's like going to the toilet in a dream, and I can't finish it, it's painful.
Xuan Yifan finally gave up on this idea. He straightened his back and saw a little light in the darkness, no matter how far away that light was, no matter how many dark tides were surging under that little light, it was the light that guided people forward.
Xuan Yifan began to walk forward, and as soon as he took a few steps forward, he noticed that something was wrong. I don't know when the water creeps up from the top of the foot to the ankle. Xuan Yifan suddenly had a terrible premonition - as long as he walked forward, the water level would continue to rise, and as long as he could not get to the light before the water surface submerged him, he would become a part of the darkness.
He started to move forward, not very fast, because he had to conserve his strength.
He kept walking, I don't know how long, only that the water was up to his knees, and that light was still far away. Xuan Yifan finally stopped, he looked at the distant light, panted and sat down. There was no splash, only a "bang", and he felt like he was sitting on a stone slab.
Xuan Yifan sat on the stone slab, he looked at the dark and distant light, and his people lay down. My head was buzzing, I felt the heat in my mouth and nose, and my throat was sore and hot, but my ears couldn't hear anything.
Is he going to give up?
Xuan Yifan remembered the appearance of many people, Li Shuiqing's drunken appearance, Wang Xuantong's appearance calling him to eat, Yang Huanxi's smiling appearance, and Yang Yu's serious appearance......
Xuan Yifan suddenly laughed, and then became painful again. He thought again of his father's dead appearance and the hazy appearance of his mother's sister in the depths of his memory.
He sat up, stood up. Start walking, then running, then walking, then running again, and so on and so forth. His eyes were fixed on the light.
Until the water crawled over his thighs, up his navel, over his shoulders, and under his nose, Xuan Yifan finally tasted the taste of the water, which tasted like eating a mouth full of salt, which made people feel terrified......
Xuan Yifan finally came to the light, on the candlestick, the bean-sized light burned tirelessly the last half inch of the candle, and his white, cold, shriveled hand stretched out like a drowning man grasping driftwood.
He grasped it, and the light was so gentle, warm, that his white, cold, shriveled hands became bloody, warm, and full. His gaze was full of light, and there was no darkness.
He could hear everything, he could hear Li Shuiqing say to Grandpa Yang Yu, "Let's go."
Yang Yu sighed and said, "Don't you want to think about it anymore?" That's not a good place. β
Wang Xuantong said: "Grandpa, no matter what, we have to try."
Yang Yu said, "You want to go too?"
Yang Huanxi said, "Hmm."
Yang Yu said with a hoarse cry: "But...... If you are also ...... What can I do? β
Yang Huanxi grinned: "Don't worry, grandpa, I'll be fine."
The footsteps faded away, and finally there was a heavy closing sound.
When Xuan Yifan opened his eyes, he saw the roof at first sight. After being confused for a while, I got off the wooden bed, pushed open the door, and saw more than a dozen people lying in the courtyard where medicinal herbs were once planted, with yellow faces and thin muscles, lying on the straw mat with a blank expression, drinking the medicinal soup brought to my mouth by others in one gulp.
Suddenly hearing a "bang", a bowl of medicinal soup fell to pieces, and a person lying on the straw mat suddenly jumped up, this person's eyes almost protruded from his sockets, and his mouth let out a short and sharp scream, and then fell heavily on the ground of the decoction fragments.
As soon as he fell, he didn't move again, seven strands of black blood flowed out of his facial features, and the smell of feces and urine was mixed with the smell of blood, and the smell of soup and medicine permeated the courtyard. Xuan Yifan was already retching, but the others were still calmly drinking the medicine.
"Hurry up!" Yang Yu's calm voice came from the gate of the courtyard, and Xuan Yifan looked up and saw four people walking into the courtyard, the four of them were tightly wrapped in linen, and even their faces were covered with veils, revealing only a pair of eyes. The two in the front took nothing, and the two in the back, one with a broom and the other with a dustpan full of dirt.
The two people in front carried the body to the straw mat, and the straw mat rolled up, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard with great strides one after the other. The two people in the dustpan behind them sprinkled the soil on the excrement, urine and blood, stepped on it, and then the other person began to clean up.
After all this was done, Yang Yu walked in with a roll of straw mat in his arm with an ugly expression, and he was about to walk out with a straw mat on it.
Xuan Yifan hurriedly said, "Grandpa Yang, what's going on here?"
The medicine jar made a popping sound, and the pungent smell of Chinese medicine filled the room, and then drifted out of the window.
After listening to Yang Yu tell him about the changes in the past few days, Xuan Yifan couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect so many changes to happen in just seven days."
Xuan Yifan looked at Yang Yu's tired eyes, and sighed with an old face: "Since that's the case, I'll go find them too!" Grandpa Yang, where did they go? β
When Yang Yu heard this, he decisively refused: "What are you kidding!" Your injuries haven't healed yet, and you're here to help......"
Xuan Yifan smiled bitterly: "Heh! I don't know how to boil any Chinese medicine. β
Yang Yu was stunned for a moment, stared at him and said, "You really want to go?"
Xuan Yifan sneezed and said, "Wow, it's much more comfortable...... Grandpa Yang told me, where did they go? β
Yang Yu was silent for a long time, and sighed: "You come with me to the jujube forest, I will teach you something."
The two walked side by side on the lifeless road, and Yang Yu began to tell Xuan Yifan where they were goingβThree Demons and Two Spirit Mountains.
Xuan Yifan grinned and said, "Hey, why is this mountain called that?"
Yang Yudao: "It was a long, long time ago, this mountain could only be regarded as a mountain before, until two teenagers who traveled in the mountains and rivers came to this mountain respectively, and each found an elixir, one is Zhu Guo, the whole body is round and red, the size of a dragon's eye, its medicinal effect is very powerful, eating it can strengthen the body; Another type of baby, which is brown all over and shaped like a baby at birth, can solve some of the injuries and illnesses.
So the two of them and the people of the family began to fight in this mountain, for two days and one night, many people were attracted to come, of course, there were also demon beasts, and then the scope of the battle became wider and wider, whether it was a human or a demon, they were attracted to come, until a demon king arrived.
As soon as this demon king arrived, he slapped it with one palm, and I don't know how many people and demons died under this palm, but I only knew that if this palm went down, the flat ground would become a depression......"
Speaking of this, Yang Yu was silent, as if he saw the big hand that covered the sky, and the countless desperate howls stopped in an instant when the palm was pressed. When the palm of the hand was raised, countless howls had turned into a bloody sludge.
Yang Yu shuddered, Xuan Yifan saw the fear in Yang Yu's eyes, and after a while, he asked softly, "What about after that?"
"After that?" Yang Yu said as if he had just woken up from a big dream: "After that, the demon king naturally planned this place as his own territory, and sent three subordinates to take care of it."
Xuan Yifan changed color in horror and said, "Then didn't they go to death?"
Yang Yu looked at Xuan Yifan's appearance of setting off immediately, and hurriedly pressed his shoulder and said, "Listen to me, although the demon king has obtained the elixir, such a natural treasure naturally takes a long time to grow." The Demon King didn't have the patience to wait for hundreds of years, so he continued the war with his subordinates, leaving only a part of the remnants to take care of the elixir for them. β
Yang Yu sighed and said: "There are always some people who always want to climb the tall building in one step, but forget that they can't go to a thousand miles without a frog step; Regardless of the small streams, there is no way to become a river and a sea. You can get this heavenly treasure, it is your fate, if you force it, even if you lose your life, you deserve it. β
Xuan Yifan said anxiously: "Oh, Grandpa Yang, don't be in a hurry to sigh about life, if you finish speaking, I'll leave first."
Yang Yu pressed his shoulder again and said, "Don't worry, don't I want to know which three kinds of demon beasts are on the mountain?"
Xuan Yifan said: "Which three?"
Yang Yu said: "Ox, Shi Kui, Jiaoyi Tiger."
Xuan Yifan asked, "Grandpa Yang, isn't there anything about the size of the three demon beasts or something?"
Yang Yu nodded.
Xuan Yifan felt that he couldn't go up in one breath, and he couldn't go down, and he was extremely uncomfortable. Only then did he remember that he had a book called "The Foundation of Demon Beasts".
Yang Yu said, "It's here."
The jujube forest is moistened by rain, showing the vivid color of life, and the stream in the jujube forest flows calmly.
Yang Yu stood calmly, holding an ebony gun in his hand. In the sun, the head of the gun shimmered with a cold light. The body of the gun shook, and his man and the gun had already moved, his left leg stretched forward, and his right foot squatted. The right hand holds the barrel of the gun, and the left hand is an inch in front of the right hand.
"Whew", the spear stabbed out, the red tassel wrapped tightly around the body of the gun, just when it was about to be completely stabbed, it suddenly changed direction, and with a "whew", the spear had changed from a thorn to a sweep, an arc, rolling up a piece of sand.
Suddenly, his people jumped into the jujube forest, the branches of the jujube forest tossed and turned, the spear waved, and the spear wind whistled by, just like the general's long knife on the battlefield with a piece of rapid wind and blood, but when his people flew out, they only brought jujube leaves.
At a glance, full of jujube leaves, Yang Yu's marksmanship suddenly changed, becoming smart and delicate, no longer simple, rough and domineering, delicate like a girl's eyebrows embroidered with her lover's eyebrows.
The spear dances, the head of the spear is dotted, and the shape is like a pear blossom.
One, two...... Seven pear blossoms, seven pear blossoms bloom, stringing up the flying jujube leaves, when the pear blossoms disappear, the jujube leaves have all been strung on the body of the gun, and there is not a single jujube leaf missing.
Standing on the other side, Xuan Yifan, who had already been stunned, was about to applaud.
Yang Yu's spear shook again, and the jujube leaves fell into the stream, and the stream was green.
Yang Yu's spear stabbed out, stabbed out...... When there is no move, the gun seems to turn into a snake, winding and spinning around the body, and there are only thorns when it moves.
The stabbing kept coming out, the speed of the stabbing became faster and faster, the sound of the gun became more and more sharp, and finally it was like the scream of a bird. First the scream of one bird, then ten birds...... And then the birds screamed!
Xuan Yifan had retreated outside the jujube forest, still feeling tingling in his eardrums, and Xuan Yifan felt that he had made a mistake for opening his ears for the first time.
The jujube leaves and green jujube in the jujube forest fell in a flutter, and when the screaming of the birds stopped, the branches of the jujube tree were already empty.
Xuan Yifan stepped on the road paved with jujube leaves and green jujubes and found Grandpa Yang. Yang Yu bent over and gasped, no longer having a gun in his hand.
Xuan Yifan walked over, and before he could speak, Yang Yuxian said: "The first set of marksmanship I taught you is called: Pear Blossom Liuhe Gun, which is Ling Tianzong's introductory marksmanship; The second set of marksmanship is called: Hundred Birds Screaming, Ling Tianzong's Xuan-level marksmanship, there are three parts in total, I have learned one, and I haven't learned the rest yet, Ling Tianzong......"
Speaking of this, Yang Yu was silent, his face was frightened, but Xuan Yifan's blood was already surging, his mouth was dry, and he said in a choked voice: "I...... Can I finish it in one day? β
Yang Yu smiled and said, "You only need to learn one and a half moves here to deal with it, the three demon beasts in the mountains."
Xuan Yifan said: "Why?"
Yang Yu showed a proud look and said loudly: "The spear shows its might, and there is no one who can maneuver. Ling Tianhao shook all directions, who in the world dared not to know you. β
There was silence in the jujube forest.
Yang Yu taught Xuan Yifan hand in hand and said to him: "Feel my body style well, square inch by inch, and be good at dodging attacks." This is also Ling Tianzong's introductory body method. β
The jujube forest was noisy, and Xuan Yifan didn't know what time it was? He only knew that his legs were getting softer and softer, his hands were getting softer and softer, his mind was blank, and the clothes on his body had not been dried.
Yang Yu looked at the dreary twilight in the west and said, "It's over, I'm done eating, I'll bring you food." With that, let go of your hand. Xuan Yifan's "horn" fell to the ground, like a puddle of mud.
The cow is a firstborn one-horned, the whole body is green, three or five in a group, the ability is unknown, and the lowest realm is the congenital triple.
Shi Kui, more than ten meters tall, body as hard as a rock, one female and one male, ability unknown, the lowest realm is the congenital fivefold.
Winged tiger, nothing is known.
This is the first thing Xuan Yifan did when he had the strength to sit up.
The bare jujube forest has been shrouded in night, and in the darkness, a red dot the size of a soybean suddenly flashed, followed by a second and a third...... The red dots of 100 grains float and then all the red dots move together in the same direction, gathering to form a flame.
The flames were absorbed, and everything was dark again. But Xuan Yifan could see that he broke through to the innate double, opened his eyes, and saw things clearly within a hundred meters.
Now, he got up, walked out of the jujube forest, walked on the loess road, walked back to the house where he lived, lay down on the bed, and began to sleep with his head covered, until early in the morning.
In the early morning, there was wind, fog, and the morning sun.
Xuan Yifan ran in such weather, with that powerful step, stepping on the loess road towards the Three Demons and Two Spirit Mountains.
Energetic boy!
Brave boy!
Passionate teenager!
How good wow!
Yang Yu watched his high-spirited figure leave, and a layer of damp mist appeared in his still bright eyes.
