057: Empty Lady
Yan Tiansheng looked up, and there were more than twenty figures of different shapes standing around the waterhole.
Several of them looked familiar, they seemed to be inner disciples of the Evergreen Sect, and he vaguely remembered seeing them at the bounty platform.
"So many people died?"
"There wasn't a single living mouth."
"Senior Brother Yan is really powerful, worthy of the name of the King of Hades."
As the surrounding chatter sounded, light footsteps gradually approached, and a graceful girl appeared in the middle of everyone, and the fiery red dress was very eye-catching.
The flame lines on her eyebrows already explain her origin.
Zu Sirou.
Haoyang Peak's personal disciple, I remember that when she entered the Necromantic Abyss, she had always followed Cui Kuan's side, but she didn't expect her to bring so many people out.
Yan Tiansheng's mind turned sharply, and his face was silent.
"Senior Brother Yan."
Zu Sirou's lips opened lightly, and her voice was a little cold and unforgiving.
She glanced around at the waterhole below, her eyes paused on the corpses, revealing a slight discoloration, and then retracted, and said politely: "Did you kill them all?" ”
"Not bad."
Yan Tiansheng said casually: "I was passing by here, and I heard a sect disciple calling for help, so I rushed over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be too late." ”
He said as he looked at a corpse on the edge of the waterhole.
Half of the young man's body was crawling in the water, his clothes were cut by the sword, the blood was washed downstream by the current, and half of his face was pale and colorless.
Everyone stared at it, and someone recognized the young man's side face, and subconsciously spoke: "It's Senior Brother Shen, I just saw that he was being chased and killed, so I went back to move the rescuers." ”
"I didn't expect us to be late."
Zu Sirou sighed lightly, and still saluted Yan Tiansheng slightly: "Thank you Senior Brother Yan for your help and revenge for your fellow disciples." ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm still a step too late."
Yan Tiansheng sighed.
"The Necromantic Abyss is full of dangers, the demon beasts are haunted, and there are bandits from Qili Mountain doing evil, Senior Brother Yan is too dangerous to be alone, why don't you join us?"
Zu Sirou sent an invitation to Yan Tiansheng.
"Thank you, senior sister, for taking care of you."
Yan Tiansheng thought for a moment and said apologetically: "But I'm used to being lazy, and I'm really not used to walking with everyone, so please forgive me." ”
"Senior Brother Yan, Senior Sister is also very kind."
"There are too many weirdness in the Necromantic Abyss, and the key is to compete for the Spirit Pool."
"And our Evergreen Sect has its own city in the Necromantic Abyss, and it will be safe when we get to the city."
Seeing that Yan Tiansheng didn't plan to go along, the surrounding Evergreen Sect disciples all spoke out to stay.
After all, in this strange and dangerous place, one more person is one more strength, let alone a personal disciple like Yan Tiansheng.
Just by looking at the corpses around the waterhole, you can see how powerful he is.
It's definitely a rare combat power.
"I'm sorry."
Yan Tiansheng shook his head slightly.
When he heard that there was an Evergreen Sect gathering in the city, he was indeed a little moved, but there were too many secrets in him, so it was better to go alone.
"That's fine."
Zu Sirou had some regrets, but she didn't force it.
She raised her hand slightly, and the personal token floated into the air, flashing a golden light towards Yan Tiansheng: "If Senior Brother Yan encounters danger outside, you can send a distress message, and we will come to help immediately." ”
"Thank you, senior sister."
Yan Tiansheng glanced at her gratefully.
I didn't expect that in this world, there are still people who value love and righteousness.
The closeness of the Evergreen disciples around the waterhole gave Yan Tiansheng more belonging to the Evergreen Sect.
The usually tense emotions couldn't help but relax a little, and their hearts were a little warmer, and even their faces looked much kinder.
"Evergreen City is in Kuntian Mountain, Senior Brother Yan and keep it in mind, we will leave here."
Zu Sirou explained, and then arranged for a few sect disciples to bury the Evergreen Sect disciple who died by the waterhole nearby, and then led people away.
"What a nice man."
Looking at the distant backs of Zu Sirou and the others, Yan Tiansheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"But there's a very fragrant smell on her."
Gong Qianxue poked her head out, spit out the snake letter and added, "I really want to eat it......"
"How did you say such cold words in such a gentle tone?" Yan Tiansheng couldn't help but complain.
The warmth that had just been born in my heart dissipated in an instant.
It's so ruining the atmosphere.
"What I said is true."
Gong Qianxue smiled and groaned: "Her spiritual attraction must be something related to snakes, and it can also enhance consciousness." ”
"This is a personal tradition, and the grade of the spiritual attraction is certainly not low." Yan Tiansheng was helpless.
"Huh!"
Gong Qianxue suddenly sighed lightly and looked up at the east: "I feel that Jiang Twelve's consciousness fluctuations are very strong, and he is constantly approaching us. ”
"Probably in trouble, right?"
Yan Tiansheng pondered.
"Check it out."
He got up and leaped, jumped onto the waterfall in a few clicks, and followed Gong Qianxue's guidance to the direction where Jiang Twelve was.
……
The dead trees of the black forest, the crows chirping.
A thin mist lingered in the forest, and an unknown black shadow flashed by, wrapped in a gray-white mist.
Except for the occasional unpleasant sound from crows, there was a dead silence in the forest.
It's as if it's a forbidden area for life.
It's just that in the depths of the gray fog, the sound of some dead wood breaking is faintly heard, and the sound of panicked footsteps is getting more and more chaotic.
A figure was walking through it in a daze, like a headless fly trying to survive.
Jiang Twelve didn't know how long he had been running, his sweaty face was bloodless, as if he had been frightened, his pupils dilated slightly, and he was panting unconsciously.
The heartbeat in his chest was as loud as a drum, as if there was only one person in heaven and earth.
"What the hell is this place?"
Jiang Twelve gritted his teeth and kept running forward, glancing behind him from time to time.
He'd been here for a few hours, and there was nothing in the dead woods, but he always felt like something was watching him.
When I looked back, I couldn't see anything, only a gray fog.
Jiang Twelve understood that there must be something in the fog, but he couldn't see it.
He didn't know what it was, but he knew he couldn't stay, he had to find his way out as soon as possible.
Running from day to night, from night to day.
Jiang Twelve finally saw a vague green outside the dead wood forest, as if it was a little hope in his heart, and a raging fire instantly ignited.
"It's an exit!"
He was so excited that he ran out like crazy.
"Hee-hee-hee..."
Suddenly, a crisp laugh sounded in Jiang Twelve's ears.
"Where are you going?"
The ethereal voice appeared coldly, Jiang Twelve felt creepy, his scalp was numb, and the hairs on his body stood up instantly.
"Who!?"
A drop of cold sweat ran through his sideburns, and he shouted with fear: "Who is pretending to be a ghost?" If you have the ability, come out and speak. ”
"The night is long, empty lady, why are you willing to leave?"
The voice whispered to itself, and the tone of resentment seemed to complain about the groom who left on the wedding night.
Jiang Twelve looked around, except for the gray mist, there was no figure at all.
It's just that when he turned around, he was startled by the scene in front of him, and unconsciously took a few steps back, fortunately there was a dead tree next to him to support, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground with weak legs.
"What's going on?"
"Haunted house?"
Jiang Twelve looked ahead in horror.
The turquoise image has disappeared, replaced by a quiet mansion with two red lanterns hanging in front of the door and flickering candles.
The gray walls, the brown and black wooden doors, and the buckle each have a hideous-looking beast head.
The wind that blew from nowhere rustled the grass and trees in the dead forest, and even the wooden door was blown open.
Crunch!
A tooth-aching voice rang out, revealing the silent courtyard behind the wooden door.
The stone tower is lit by lights, the blue bricks and tiles, the scattered grass and trees on the ground, and the hall with the door closed, facing the position of Jiang Twelve.
The wooden door was like a big mouth that was eating people, waiting for him to throw himself into the net.
Jiang Twelve swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and didn't dare to go in at all.
Hurriedly turned his head and ran, and from time to time he glanced back at the mansion that disappeared into the dead woods.
But before Jiang Twelve could breathe a sigh of relief, when he turned back again, the disappeared mansion appeared in front of him, and the gate was even close at hand.
Just one step away, he will rush into the hospital.
Jiang Twelve hurriedly stopped, didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat off his head, and hurriedly changed directions again and continued to run wildly.
But no matter how he runs, the mansion will always appear in his way.
"Husband, why don't you come in?"
The ethereal, ghostly voice sounded again, and it felt closer to him.
"Who the hell are you?"
Jiang Twelve was already on the verge of collapse, and it seemed that the psychological defense line would be broken soon.
"I'm your wife, husband, what are you talking about?"
The voice was a little sad and confused, faintly mixed with a little sobbing, which made people unconsciously feel a little pity.
"No, that's not right!"
Jiang Twelve roared angrily.
I felt like the sky was spinning, and the fog in front of me was much bigger.
Wow!
The breeze blew, and the lights in the stone tower lit up instantly, and even the red lanterns under the eaves on both sides lit up with a pale red hue.
The mansion was shrouded in fog and looked mysterious and eerie.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Jiang Twelve even saw countless figures walking around among them, and children playing and running.
Someone's eyes looked at him, and they smiled and opened their mouths to speak, their arms swinging strangely, and reaching out towards his arms, as if trying to pull him in.
Jiang Twelve wanted to struggle, but as if he was drunk, he was powerless to break free.
watched himself being invited into the mansion by everyone.
People who eat and drink food and drink constantly greet him with a smile on their faces, get up to salute and congratulate him, and sometimes even see the envious looks on their faces.
"Could it be that I'm really getting married?"
Jiang Twelve suddenly had this thought in his heart: "Yes, yes, my lady is still waiting for me inside." ”
He turned his head to see that the candles in the hall were lit, and there was a faint figure sitting quietly, looking very beautiful wearing a hijab.
"Lady, lady......"
