172: The Lampbearer in the Mist
A ball of fire surged up on Si Songnian's body, and he jumped up, flying towards the depths of the mountains and forests like a cloud of fire.
Others were in the air, and they saw the mist of the mountains and forests clearing, and faintly, a big snake was drilling into the valley.
And His Highness Zhou Xing and several other foundation building monks all chased after the white snake.
Of course, His Highness Zhou Xing was also among those who were chasing.
Si Songnian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as His Highness was fine, then everything would be fine.
At that moment, he was about to be frightened, because he thought that he had fallen for someone else's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
It wasn't until he saw Zhou Xing that he breathed a sigh of relief.
A group of people rushed into the valley in a line, and in the mountain fog, everyone was already submerged in a blink of an eye.
Si Songnian rushed to Zhou Xing's side with a burst of fire.
Then he said loudly: "Your Highness is not in a hurry, Rong Poor Dao will go over and have a look first." ”
He chased after him, and the valley in front of him became narrower and narrower, but he was not in a hurry, because he was afraid that he would be lured by others to chase too deeply, causing His Highness behind to be attacked by someone, or he himself was ambushed.
He was very careful, not only paying attention to the front, chasing the breath of the snake, but also paying attention to the movements of His Highness behind him.
He knew that if he could do well, he would definitely be rewarded, and his disciples would be indispensable for Tiangang Spiritual Liquid, Spirit Stones and other elixir cultivation.
The footsteps of His Highness behind him approached, and a series of messy footsteps broke through the fog in the mountain, and they stopped next to Si Songnian, looking at the cave in the valley.
"Okay, here, it's good, the chief of the road has made a great contribution." Zhou Xing said happily.
The entrance to the cave was so smooth that it was evident that a large snake had been constantly entering and exiting, and that snake scales had fallen at the entrance of the cave.
"Your Highness, I have a way to make it difficult for this white snake to settle in this cave again." A person beside Zhou Xing said.
This man is good at spells.
"Okay, then ask the original Taoist to cast a spell and let this white snake come out." Zhou Xing laughed.
Among his group, the strong man who can really fight head-on is Si Songnian, and his Chiyan swordsmanship is extremely profound.
The others have their own spell characteristics, this person's name is Yuan Jiuquan, also known as the original Gu Master, and the art of Gu spells is vicious and vicious.
After Zhou Xing said this, he picked up the white snake scales on the ground, and then took out a piece of cloth from the Qiankun bag, and spread the cloth on the ground, and there were many gems on it.
But when I looked closely, I found that it was not a gem, but a worm like a gem.
The gem-like insects were inlaid one by one on a piece of silk weaving, and the cloth had strange runes on it, connecting each insect together.
In the middle, there is a pattern that resembles an altar.
He placed the snake scale on the altar in the center.
Then he took out two more things from the treasure bag.
A dark puppet with a human skin rattle.
He placed the puppet on the sacrificial cloth, and the puppet's eyes were extremely strange and dark.
Yuan Jiu sat on the ground with all his legs, then closed his eyes, and then opened his eyes, and the rattle in his hand swayed.
With the shaking of the rattle, the eyes of the puppet lying on the cloth seemed to have light, as if the deepest resentment in its body had been awakened.
The puppet contains the soul of a girl.
The girl had a talent for raising insects since she was a child, and was known as the Worm Girl, and after being killed by him, the soul was refined through the secret method and refined into a curse doll.
The skin of the rattle was the skin of the girl, and it shook, and the cursed doll floated up and came to the middle of the curse cloth, and it exuded black gas.
The insect on the curse cloth emitted a strange light, and the light converged on her body, and the cursed doll actually raised her hand and made a strange sound in her mouth.
A little bit of light fell on the scales below.
He knew very well that if the snake fell into his own spell, it would definitely be like an insect bite, and it would not be able to bear it at all, and it would definitely run out.
He shook the rattle all at once, and the strange light on the piece of cloth converged on the white scales.
In the cave, there was a huge beast's roar, and the snake was as loud as a beast.
Zhou Xing had a smile on his face, he thought in his heart, these people he invited were right, although some of them couldn't fight head-on, but the left path technique was very good.
At this time, in the mountains and forests, those insects seemed to be awakened by some mysterious power, and they were extremely restless.
In the cave, a large snake rushed out from the other side of the mountain.
"Haha......"
Zhou Xing laughed loudly and said, "The original path is good at spells. ”
After finishing speaking, he and Si Songnian rushed over, they chased all the way, towards the depths of the mountain, the snake rushed out of the hole at the beginning of the body was very large, gray-white, but after drilling into the mountain forest, the body quickly shrunk.
There was no sound for a while.
However, Zhou Xing took out a compass, which was a demon hunting disk.
After the pointer on it turned rapidly, it finally pointed in one direction, Si Songnian also looked at it, and immediately went in that direction, and in the demonic qi that was originally scattered, he couldn't tell where the big white snake had gone for a while.
"...... over there"
The two vaguely saw a small white snake in front of them, swimming quickly in the mountains and forests, it was like a fish in the water, not swimming on the ground, but walking through the void, the mountains and forests were dense, the snake shrunk very small, Si Songnian and Zhou Xing couldn't catch up for a while.
Zhou Xing said: "Follow it closely, it is injured in the catastrophe, it will definitely not be able to run far, and it will not be able to escape quickly, so we will follow it and drag it to death." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, we are not in a hurry." Si Songnian said.
He has a wealth of experience in chasing and escaping, and knows that there is no need to be in such a hurry, and he must give the other party hope of escaping, so that the other party will run desperately, and in the end he will be exhausted, and when he can't move, he can't resist if he wants to.
Over mountain after mountain.
There are many demons in the Coiled Snake Mountain, and it was originally the dojo that ended up with the Neidan Demon King back then.
But the Demon King of the Yudan left later, and this place can be called ownerless.
However, the demon king did not say that he would give up here, but he left for a while, and no one could be sure whether he would come back in the future, so humans would not come to occupy this place, so there were many demons in this mountain.
Of course, there are often humans who come into the mountains to hunt demons, but they all come in secretly, because of the large number of people, it is inevitable that there will be huge pressure on the mountain demons, which will make them think that humans are going to kill them, so it will cause a big war between humans and demons.
The court didn't want to see that happen.
This time, the white demon in the mountain crossed the catastrophe, but failed again, so it was inevitable that the demon in the entire snake mountain was panicked, and the snake was swimming in the mountains and forests as much as possible not to make a movement, but the people chasing it made a lot of noise.
Because Si Songnian needed to make this movement to deter the white snake and make it flee for his life.
After another mountain, it was already deep in the mountains.
A deep stream suddenly appeared in front of him, and a white shadow instantly burrowed into the deep stream.
Si Songnian frowned, he didn't like water, because the water law would restrain his fire method.
Of course, he is not very afraid, because his fire method is combined with swordsmanship, and the flame cannot be burned, but he can be killed with a sword.
At this moment, Zhou Xing also chased after him, looked at this deep stream, frowned, and said: "If it escapes into this, it will be troublesome, but it doesn't matter, among the people I brought with me, someone has refined a bottle of poison, and if it falls into this deep stream, it will definitely not be able to hide." ”
"Your Highness is far-sighted, the temple is exhaustive, and the future is limitless." Si Songnian said half sincerely, half sycophantly.
He really thinks that this Forty-Three Highness is good.
However, he looked at this mountain vigilantly from time to time, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this mountain is just some little demons now, don't worry, this deep stream does not lead to other places." ”
Zhou Xing smiled, he looked at this deep stream, and said: "Waiting to harvest this Jiao blood, and then collect the true blood of the cat demon, it will be enough to gather the power to open up the Purple Mansion, and after I open the Mansion, I will definitely not forget the achievements of the Daoist Commander today." ”
It's just that they waited for a while and a while, and the several foundation building monks behind them still didn't catch up, and the monk he was waiting for had refined a bottle of poison, and he didn't feel like catching up at all.
Zhou Xing couldn't help but look back, only to see the road behind him, the fog was hazy, and the road in the future tense was covered, his heart was cold, and he felt a trace of danger.
His eyes stared at the fog of the road, and he thought there might be something in there.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the deep stream.
He immediately turned around, but saw a big snake in the deep stream, bringing up a big wave, the snake was huge, but under the winding, it turned into a slender white snake, and from under the skin of the snake's body, there was a pair of strange arms stretched out.
The arm looked like a human arm, but it looked strange and long, and people knew it was a demon at a glance.
The white snake with two arms fell back into the water, and then got up, the snake's tail was in the water, but the upper body of the snake was standing outside the water, staring at Nasi Songnian and Zhou Xing with a pair of cold eyes.
Zhou Xing instinctively felt the danger, Si Songnian was also an old man in the rivers and lakes, and at this moment, a strong sense of danger surged in his heart.
"Your Highness, something may have happened, wait for me to block this big snake, you find the right time to leave directly." Si Songnian said, but he didn't hear the answer, and couldn't help but look sideways at Zhou Xing, only to find that Zhou Xing was staring closely at the road he came.
He looked there too, and there was a fog.
At this time, it was late at night, and stars appeared in the sky, and the moon fell in the forest, and the sparse light fell in the forest.
In the dark mountains and forests, there was only the rustling sound of the wind blowing, at this moment, he also felt that there might be something in the fog, Zhou Xing had said that someone was following behind, but he never saw it, and he even doubted Zhou Xing's judgment.
Is there really anyone who has already believed in his heart at this moment, because of the situation at this time, he feels that he may have fallen into a trap.
Along the way, he was thinking, don't fall into the trap, don't be separated from His Highness, don't be separated from others, but that's it, he still fell into the trap, he squinted his eyes, and there was a fire in his eyes, and those who cultivate the fire method will have a little bit of the ability to see through the psychedelics.
At last, he seemed to see a little bit of light in the mist of the mountains and forests, and the light slowly became clear from the faint, phantom light between his efforts to gaze, and the light became more and more intense.
It's a lamp.
He saw it clearly.
It was a man who came out with a lamp.
It's just that this person holding the lamp, he couldn't see clearly for a while, and the other party's face couldn't be seen clearly outside the flames, and he only saw his hand holding the lamp.
The body seems to be hidden in the darkness.
"His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Zhou is arresting the rebel demon in the mountains, and no one else is allowed to interfere, who are you?" Si Songnian asked loudly.
The man with the lamp ignored it and walked over step by step.
When he reached a distance, he stopped, and the man's light did not look bright, and even his face did not shine clearly.
But at this time, Zhou Xing suddenly laughed and said: "Unexpectedly, in the territory of this Great Zhou, someone dares to come to ambush and kill the main hall, who are you?" ”
The lamp-bearer was silent.
"Your courage is good, if you are willing to take refuge in this temple, no matter what the person who invited you to come, I will give you ten times." Zhou Xing seduced.
The man with the lamp remained silent, holding only a lamp and standing under the tree, like a ghost.
Zhou Xing's heart tightened a little, and the other party was silent, so he couldn't judge what the other party thought.
However, he felt that the breath on the other party's body was not particularly strong, and he was in the same foundation building as himself, if it was really a foundation, then he was not afraid at all, so his heart began to stretch again.
I couldn't help but say: "You came to kill His Highness, but there is only a snake that failed to cross the catastrophe, a monk who built a foundation, so, I am afraid that you will waste some of your thoughts, if you have no other people, today this king will let you know, what is the royal treasure." ”
Behind him, a low roar sounded, followed by a voice, and it was the snake that spoke.
"I'll kill this Purple Mansion monk first, do you have confidence in dealing with that prince?"
The snake had actually turned into a horizontal bone and was able to speak.
The demons in the world are generally able to remove the horizontal bones after crossing the catastrophe and knotting the pill, speaking human words, unless there is some special opportunity to take the first step to remove the horizontal bones.
Zhou Xing listened to this, and looked at the person holding the lamp under the tree, the person holding the lamp still did not speak, but the light in the other party's hand flickered, and at this moment, he saw the other party's face clearly, it was a big pie face, which was not at all consistent with the temperament of this person standing with the lamp.
The flickering light, like an arrow in the darkness, pierced the void, pierced the darkness, and pierced his eyes without him closing them, and at this moment, he felt as if his eyes had been pierced.
It was scorched by flames.
The thought immediately occurred in his mind, but he did not panic, but his eyebrows suddenly cracked, and a fish-like eye peeked out of his forehead.
