It was nightfall, and the moon and stars were scarce.

To the right, there is a lake, reflecting the moonlight, clear and bright.

The night breeze blows, and the surface of the lake is rippling, but when you see the waves, it is like a piece of silver-white scale armor.

But when I looked at it from afar, I saw a huge figure on the lake, shaped like a hound, as big as a hill.

With a hideous face and a low roar, it threw itself into the lake, opening its mouth to swallow the moon in the water.

It tumbled in the water, roared and roared, and set off stormy waves, and finally looked up at the sky and the moon, maintained this position, and sank into the lake.

After a while, the wind and waves were calm, the lake was silent, the moonlight was still reflected, and it seemed as if nothing had happened.

“……”

The white ape was silent for a moment, and then said, "Master, did I read it wrong just now?" ”

Lu Wan shook his head slightly, his expression solemn.

The white ape paused, and then said, "Did the master shout 'run' just now?" Are you afraid of dogs? ”

"You read that right, but you heard it wrong."

Lu Wan's face was expressionless, so to speak.

And at this moment, the voice of the four ancestors finally sounded.

"So this is Xiaoyue Lake."

"Master, your old man has finally woken up?"

"......" The Fourth Ancestor Yan Dharma Daojun always felt that there was something in this kid's words, and he couldn't help but say in a muffled voice: "A quarter of an hour ago, at nightfall, the old man woke up. ”

"Then just now, why did the ancestor pretend to be dead?"

"It's not pretending to be dead, the old man is already dead."

“……”

"Actually, the old man noticed this change from a distance, but he mistakenly thought that it was the mountain guarding demon king of the Hades Sect that had resurrected the hell god dog!" The fourth ancestor's tone was a little solemn: "That guy's talent is supernatural, and he can restrain souls, so he specializes in eating souls, and he likes spirits the most...... If the old man was alive, he would naturally be fearless, but now that there is only a soul left, he must always avoid it. ”

"So you're hiding?"

"What do you mean to hide? It seems that I am afraid of it, mainly because I am afraid that the spirit qi will leak out and cause trouble for you......"

The fourth ancestor's voice was a little quieter, and he defended a sentence before he said: "Now that the Palm Sect Token and the Thunder Divine Tree are one, and they are rooted in your sea of consciousness, if you die, the old man will probably be wiped out......"

When he said this, he felt that he didn't explain it clearly, so he continued: "The classics record that the origin of the hell god dog is mysterious, and there are rumors in the world that it was brought back from the Netherworld by the founding patriarch of the Hades Sect. ”

"You old man thinks that people will think that my cultivation is too shallow and the meat quality is not good, and the nutrition is insufficient, and there may be a little bit of teeth, so they think that the Prison God Dog is too lazy to eat me?" Lu Wan's expression was a little complicated.

"That's not what it means, after all, you have two real flowers, and you still have the ability to escape! And the Prison Dog is extremely proud in the classics, and it will not surrender its identity and chase after you...... Well, the old man admitted, he just decided that people were too lazy to eat such a mere Qi Refining Realm as you. ”

The fourth ancestor was a little depressed, and said: "As long as the old man hides, the Hell God Dog will basically ignore you, an ant!" Even if you don't like it, you just follow your hand to shoot a fly, as long as you use the power of the divine flower to escape, who will chase a fly? ”

"If the master doesn't know how to explain, he doesn't need to explain it to the disciple." Fly Daoist Lu Wan couldn't help but say depressedly.

"What do you mean by explanation? It's called clarification! The Fourth Ancestor was obviously quite dissatisfied with this word, and said: "In the future, if the masters of the past generations wake up and learn about this, they must not ridicule the old man?" ”

Speaking of this, he continued: "At first, the old man thought that if he reminded you at that time, there is a high possibility that the power of the divine soul will be detected by the Prison Suppression Dog, then it will definitely hunt hard and chase after it! But now it seems that it's not the Hellgod Dog......"

"Then what's going on with this vicious dog in the Howling Moon Lake? If your old man feels threatened, why are you awake now? Lu Wan asked in a low voice.

"Because it's dead." The Fourth Ancestor sighed.

"Huh?" Lu Wan was stunned.

"It died a hundred and sixty years ago, and it was just a remnant."

"Just a wisp of residual thought can be so shocking?"

"It was a monster at the pinnacle of the Casting Peak when it was alive!"

"Casting the tripod ......" Lu Wan heard this, his expression was solemn.

"It is entrenched in Xiaoyue Lake, and it has never caused trouble to all parties, but often shocks the monsters of the southern mountains, and it can be regarded as protecting Qujiang County invisibly, and it can also be regarded as guarding the southern edge of the Ziyang Domain...... Therefore, my Xuantianguan acquiesced to its existence, and the imperial court even wanted to make it a god. ”

"And what about later?"

"It rejected the throne and got into trouble."

"Got in trouble?"

"Rumors have arisen from the outside world that it has been inherited from the Prison God Dog in the past, involving the Hades Sect, and the imperial court is going to capture it! But in fact, it has been more than twenty years since it got the inheritance left by the Hell God Dog, and it is a prince of the royal family of the Divine Capital, and he wants to submit it as a mount, but he just found an excuse to be famous! ”

"So it was beheaded by the imperial court?"

"No, when Si Tianjian came, he found that it was gone."

"Gone?" Lu Wan thought for a moment and said, "When your old man said 'gone', doesn't it just mean 'dead'?" ”

"It's just gone." The Fourth Ancestor said in a low voice: "After all, my Xuantian Temple is the first sect in the Ziyang Domain, and although Qujiang County is in the neighboring county of Kaiyang Mountain, the government has also given it a certain amount of respect!" That's why the old man came to see it in person......"

"It's like when I was trying to break through the God Refining Realm, I was attacked by a sneak attack and eaten by someone."

"Eaten?"

"Yes, the old man has always wondered, I don't know which fierce devil can even eat raw at the peak realm of Casting Ding!" The fourth ancestor paused and said, "And from the clues, when it was eaten raw, the old man was on Kaiyang Mountain...... I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary! ”

"With your old man's cultivation, even if they are separated by a county, under the fierce battle, they should not be able to hide your perception."

"So there was no fierce fight at all, just one face, and this Howling Moon Divine Dog at the peak of the Peak was eaten raw."

The Fourth Ancestor couldn't help but sigh and said, "Not only was the physical body eaten, but even the soul that was about to condense into the Yin God was eaten up...... To this day, I don't know who that guy was back then, it's crazy! ”

After finishing speaking, the four ancestors suddenly fell into a long silence.

Lu Wan thought that he had finished explaining and didn't want to say more.

But the next moment, he heard the fourth ancestor say in a low voice: "According to this, the situation is not right?" ”

"What does the ancestor mean by this?"

"The body and soul have all been eaten, and there is only a wisp of residual thoughts left back then, and after more than a hundred years, it has long since disappeared."

"And what do you mean by that?"

"That dead dog just now, there's a problem." The fourth ancestor was slightly surprised, and after a while, he said, "Little Liu......"

"The disciple understands your old man's firm spirit of fearing life and death for the sake of lofty beliefs, but the disciple is completely unwilling to dedicate himself to the 'research cause'!"

"That's not what I said...... Fourth Ancestor said in a low voice: "It's already dead, it's just a wisp of residual thoughts, it's not dangerous, the old man suspects, it's just a flash." ”

"Fleeting?"

"That's right! The old man is ninety percent sure that this wisp of his residual thoughts will not reappear. ”

"What is the difference between being 90% sure and sending you to death?"
